President Biden vowed on Monday to veto a House Republican bill that would provide $17.6 billion in aid to Israel, calling it a “cynical political maneuver” intended to hurt the chances of passage for broader legislation that would provide money for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. border.

House Republicans fiercely oppose the larger bill, which was unveiled by a small, bipartisan group of senators over the weekend. It calls for $118.3 billion in spending and would overhaul some of the nation’s immigration laws to deal with recent surges of migrants at the southern border.

Wish there was a rule barring packaging unrelated legislation

I don't. We got the biggest and most important climate bill ever, likely in the entire world, by getting to ostensibly package it as an anti-inflation bill.

Politics is a game of negotiation and compromise. The same impulse as "nothing should ever be logrolled" is saying we should be entirely uncompromising on everything always.

If Ukraine and Israel aid were not bundlable, guess what? We'd get Israel and not Ukraine aid. The more deserving recipient wouldn't get the aid.

Nah that bill got ruined by "negotiation and compromise" and opened up millions new acres of land leasing for oil and gas extraction. We're gonna continue breaking emissions records every year

We'd get Israel and not Ukraine aid.

Because we've elected zionists and russian agents. And because of that this bill is likely to not pass, and each side can point at a different part of the bill to justify opposing it.

The negative far outweighs benefits .

It should be, but hasn't since the early two thousands

A foreign aid package wouldn't violate it
