The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel.

The Ukraine bill, which passed with 311 votes in favor, 112 votes against, and one present, will now head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.

        Does being a citizen of a country make you responsible for the actions of its government? Especially, not for people whose votes almost never result in the candidate of their choice being elected, which for me is from local elections all the way up to national. I did vote for several local school board members who won, two elections ago, so I’ll accept some responsibility for what they’ve done as 3 out of 7 voting members of that board.
