Senate passes $95 billion package sending aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan after months of delay
cnn.com/2024/04/23/politics/senate-vote-foreign-aid/
Quick Glance: Senate Passes Aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan with Strong Bipartisan Support
- The Senate has approved $95 billion in war aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden after months of delays and contentious debates over U.S. involvement in foreign wars.
- The legislation would also provide $26 billion in wartime assistance to Israel, humanitarian relief to citizens of Gaza, and $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.
- The changes have brought some of the nine additional Senate Republicans on board, increasing support to over half of McConnell's conference.
- The growing divide in the GOP between aid skeptics and traditional 'Reagan Republicans' who strongly support it may have significant implications for the top two Republican leaders.

- After being expelled from the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly in December 2023, Santos made headlines with a mysterious appearance outside former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York.

Quick Glance: Investigation into Gifts to Supreme Court Justices: Leo Refuses Senate Subpoena
- As part of a months-long inquiry into undisclosed gifts to Supreme Court justices, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena to conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo on Thursday, which he promptly rejected as “politically motivated.”
- Following reports that Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. accepted free luxury travel and gifts from Crow, Leo, and conservative donor Robin Arkley II without disclosure, the committee voted to authorize subpoenas for Leo and Texas billionaire Harlan Crow along party lines.
- Democrats on the committee initiated an investigation into the justices' relationships with private benefactors after ProPublica's April report last year revealed Thomas' failure to disclose free luxury vacations and private jet travel from Crow over many years, and Leo's arrangement of a luxury fishing trip for Alito in 2008.
- With Leo's rejection, Democrats would need to hold a Senate vote to seek court enforcement of the subpoena - a nearly impossible task in a narrowly divided chamber requiring 60 votes to break a filibuster.
