However, House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson declared it “dead on arrival” if it reaches his chamber.

    $60 bil for Ukraine?

    If the US is serious about helping Ukraine, they need to send them F-35s and deploy M1 Abrams MBTs and actually give Ukraine state-of-the-art technologies, not those already stripped of their best features because they’re afraid of technology falling into the Russian hands. Only then can they start to systematically destroy critical Russian military infrastructures, pushing the Russians back to the point where they could no longer sustain the war effort, and then forcing the Russians into a negotiation. Otherwise they’re just hanging Ukraine out to dry.
