Senator Rand Paul has taken a firm stance against the proposed $95 billion foreign aid package, which includes funding for Ukraine and Israel, by vowing to delay its passage 'until hell freezes over'. Paul criticizes the bill for prioritizing foreign interests over domestic concerns, specifically referencing the southern border's security. He accuses fellow Republicans, including those who support the bill like Mitch McConnell, of not aligning with the party's base by putting 'Ukraine first and America last.' McConnell, who is among the 22 Republicans backing the aid package, argues that funding Ukraine is crucial for global stability and U.S. strength. Paul's filibuster and public statements emphasize his belief that the bill endangers national security and contributes to the 'bankrupting of America' and the 'looting of our treasury'.
