"It’s uncertain whether Johnson can even get his controversial proposal passed through the House, where Republicans hold a slim four-seat majority."
" Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and key Senate GOP defense hawks such as Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Roger Wicker (Miss.) don’t favor splitting up President Biden’s emergency funding request for Israel, Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific."
"Other GOP senators warn that getting into a food fight with Democrats over offsets is guaranteed to slow down any emergency military aid, leaving Israeli and Ukrainian forces without weapons at a critical time"

"Do you know what the big N in the middle of the Nebraska football field stands for...?"

..."Knowledge"
