The Senate advanced on Tuesday a stop-gap spending bill that allocates $12 billion in aid to Ukraine and $3 billion for Afghan resettlement.
The Senate voted to invoke cloture on the legislative vehicle for the continuing resolution (CR), a stop-gap spending bill that would continue to fund the federal government until December 16.
The Senate invoked cloture 72-23, featuring strong Republican and Democrat support for the motion.
The legislation, among other things, would provide:
$12.3 billion in economic and military aid to Ukraine
$1 billion for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP)

Could they deposit, say $1,000,000 in my checking account. They won't miss it.

At what point will Putin decide he's had enough of the United States' meddling in their affairs and "eliminate" the source of this meddling? With Biden more concerned with the flavor of his ice cream and padding the pockets of the big military industrial complex, any nuclear aggression by Putin will be met with the howling winds of political hot air. Maybe it IS time for a nuclear sterilization of Washington DC. Evaporating the swamp dry with high temperatures may be the only way forward.

Impossible to describe how much I hate these people. They are the downside of our Constitution.

This crap needs to be made 100% ILLEGAL to do. It was done for 8 years of Obama and it's a way the Demonrat Administrations get away with not having to comply with the Constitutional requirement for a Federal Budget.

We wouldn't need $1 billion for Low-Income home heating help if Biden would re-open our own fossil fuel industries. $3 billion for Afghan settlement - do we even know who is her from Afghanistan and their background? I so despise Republican Senators with the exception of Rand Paul.

Trump only got $5 billion to build part of our border wall. Hand it to the Republicans; when they find an issue they don't like, they fight like wildcats.

The Senate failed, as usual, to list the Big Guy's Kickbacks!

I read in an article a couple of days ago how Machin's bill would have given the Secretary of energy the power to decide where power lines could be routed over the U.S. over the objections of states to carry electricity for hundreds of miles from windmills or solar farms or whatever else environmental destroying facility she could to cities far away. This process would almost certainly be used to nationalize the power grid. Just another way to take goods (in this case electric power) from rural areas to people in cities that vote Democrap. This was used in the OPEC oil embargo during the 70's to force Texas and other oil producing states to pay more for fuel than the leaches, excuse me, cities and states who refused to let oil companies produce oil and gas here. They use the "interstate commerce" provision to control prices and distribution of oil and gas going across state lines forcing us to pay higher prices to make up for their price caps and to wait in gas lines here too.
I am glad to see the left out, but we all know a good bill will not be found with the powers that be in D.C.

More proof that the US Senate is a mortal danger to Americans. Caligula's horse would be a better alternative. At least you'd have something in addition to the horse's ass.

We can solve the energy crisis by hooking up the power grid to the printing presses in the Treasury.
