The House of Representatives passed a bill to provide $14.3 billion in emergency aid to Israel, intending to fund it by cutting the Internal Revenue Service’s budget. The Senate, voting along party lines, tabled a motion to proceed to the bill, with Democrats blocking the GOP's attempt to unanimously pass the aid bill. Republican senators, led by Ted Cruz, worked to force a vote on military aid to Israel, revealing that every Democrat voted against it. Progressive Democrats, led by Ilhan Omar, are launching legal efforts to block arms sales to Israel. Ted Cruz also named Democrat senators running in swing states who voted against the military aid to Israel, holding them accountable on his show, Verdict.
On Verdict, @benfergusonshow and I take you behind the scenes to the Senate Floor, where every Democrat voted against military aid to Israel. We also expose the radical antisemitic protests we've seen across the country. https://t.co/CrGy3bV0vb https://t.co/8LIG0neOzO

After I went to the March for Israel, a group of senators decided that we'd seen enough of the left's antisemitism. We decided to force a vote on military aid to Israel, and every single Democrat voted no. @benfergusonshow and I name names on Verdict. https://t.co/CrGy3bV0vb

I blindsided the Democrats. Schumer brags about defending Israel, but when Republican senators forced a vote on military aid to Israel, every Democrat voted no. Democrats are on the record siding with leftist antisemites. Behind the scenes on #Verdict. https://t.co/CrGy3bV0vb

From colleague Tyler Olson. The Senate is now voting on a motion to table consideration of the Israel aid bill. This is at a simple-majority threshold, meaning Democrats have almost no margin for error if they are to block Marshall's procedural gambit.
The House of Representatives passed military aid to Israel. Senate Democrats are holding it up because they think that funding their weaponized IRS agents is more important than standing with our ally. I am working to force a vote so that every Democrat has to go on the record. https://t.co/NuWC7iIb18
