MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin reports that Republican Speaker Mike Johnson will not move on the national security funding bill that the Senate is expected to move on later this week, refusing to bring the bill to the floor and opting to prepare legislation from the House, which has been the historically least-productive House in modern US history. The this Republican chaos, no aid will be passed to help for Ukraine, Israel, Gaza or Taiwan.
“The mandate of national security supplemental legislation was to secure America’s own border before sending additional foreign aid around the world,” Johnson said in a statement posted online. “It is what the American people de1na nd and deserve. N ow, in the absence of having received any single border policy change from the Senate, the House will have to continue to work its own will on these important matters. America deserves better than the Senate’s status quo.”
