President Donald Trump's grip over the House of Representatives continued to loosen on Thursday, as 18 Republicans broke ranks to pass a foreign military aid measure his administration doesn't support, a new report revealed.
According to Politico, the measure, which was also opposed by House GOP leadership, is a "strong show of support for Kyiv and the first time a standalone aid package has passed either chamber during Trumps second term."
The measure also includes a new round of sanctions on Russia.

(4,154 posts)We should obviously take wins where we can get them, but I wouldn't put it past the GOP machinery to orchestrate some political theater to try and make voters take their eyes off the mid-term prize.

(244 posts)It likely won't pass the Senate and Trump can veto it if it does. It's easy for endangered Republicans to vote for this when they know it probably won't become law.
