House Passes $95 Billion Foreign Aid Package With conservative opposition, House Speaker Mike Johnson relied on Democrats’ help to pass the foreign aid bills that includes a measure that could ban TikTok. The House of Representatives has passed legislation that would give financial assistance to American partners in the Indo-Pacific, Ukraine, and Israel, in addition to a bill that includes measures such as forcing Chinese divestment of TikTok. This comes as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) faces growing discontent among conservatives over the package, particularly the billions in funding for Ukraine and its lack of border security measures. The House passed the $61 billion aid package for Ukraine in a 311–112 vote. The measure providing for Indo-Pacific and Taiwanese security passed in a 385–34 vote. Another bill funding Israel passed 366–58. The bill wrapping together a TikTok ban and allowing for the seizure of Russian assets passed in a 360–58 vote.   Democrats cheered on the floor after Ukraine assistance passed, waving Ukrainian flags and chanting “Ukraine, Ukraine,” at which point they were chastised by Mr. Johnson for violating House rules on decorum. Now that it’s been passed by the House, the legislation will go to the Senate as a single package, where it’s expected to easily pass. President Joe Biden has expressed support for the package, and urged the Senate to swiftly send it to his desk.

Thank You, Lord, amen and amen! - "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5) News from Congress Third House Republican calls for Speaker Johnson's ouster over $95B foreign aid plan   Rep. Paul Gosar said Friday he would cosponsor the motion to vacate     A third House Republican lawmaker is jumping on board the effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., over his plan for foreign aid. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., released a statement shortly after Johnson's plan – four bills that amount to $95 billion in spending – survived a key procedural vote on the House floor with more Democratic support than Republican. He bashed House GOP leaders for not linking his foreign aid proposal, particularly a bill sending money to Ukraine, to U.S. border security measures – frustration shared by other conservative foreign aid skeptics who voted to block the plan from getting a vote on final passage. (Fox News) Read more here.   - Father God, only You know what lies in the hearts of men, and the truth that rules there. Only You know and understand the actions of our House Speaker, too. We leave this sensitive matter in Your Hands, O Lord, asking only that Your will be done in ordaining the one who should serve as the Speaker of the House. We pray much now, in the Spirit, in Your Holy and wonderful name, amen and amen! - "Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."
