The House on Tuesday failed to pass a standalone package for $17.6 billion in Israel aid amid opposition from both Republicans and Democratic leaders.
Because of resistance among members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, House Speaker Mike Johnson had been forced to bring up the bill under a procedure that requires two-thirds majority of the House to approve it. That means he needed the support of a sizable number of Democrats to get behind it, and failed to cross that threshold.
Inside a closed caucus meeting Tuesday morning, House Democratic leadership made a forceful case against supporting the standalone Israel aid package to members. Dozens of Democrats exiting the meeting said they will be voting against the bill.

Republicans are actively stopping action on the border and funding for our allies. Is that not treason, or something along those lines? This is the most un-American group of people I’ve seen in some time.
Because they literally are un-American like the chode who commented that he doesn’t want immigration or Russia defeated. As Henry Jones Sr. put it: “They are the slime of humanity.”
Stop making them sound cool.
No more genocide money, but, um, suck it, Republicans? I’m so conflicted right now.
They knew this would be the outcome but held the vote anyways. Such a waste of time and money. GOP is officially the do nothing party
