    How about sending us retirees and working Americans some aid. We need help too.

    You know the money will go into more pockets.
  • @johnmyers6117
    What took you so long Johnson?? This should've passed months ago. How many brave soldiers and civilians have died because of your delay and cowardice? I hope you will get back on track to fight against authoritarianism in the US and abroad in countries at risk such as Ukraine. We cannot lose focus nor commitment to freedom and democracy.
  • "as quickly as well could" what a hypocrite! You gave weeks of vacations to representatives and dare saying that!
  • NO MORE FOREIGN AID! $0 FOR THE SOUTHERN BORDER. FOREIGN GUARANTEED LOANS ONLY... AMERICA FIRST 1 BILL AT A TIME
