“Speaker Mike Johnson told GOP lawmakers that he’ll try to pass four bills this week to send aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan — each in separate bills, according to two Republicans in the private Monday meeting.
A fourth proposed bill would include a package of related measures, including a lend-lease deal for military aid, a ban on TikTok in the U.S. and provisions to sell off assets seized from Russian oligarchs.”
Johnson will not let the bill for aid to Israel, Ukraine & Taiwan that has already passed the senate be voted on, instead his own new versions.
Watch for the Ukraine bill to suddenly be delayed.
Will these bills be acceptable to the senate? They will have rushed the drafting.
Note: Johnson has no problem getting congress to approve the Senate's aid bill. His congress problem is avoiding the crazy wing of the Republicans deposing him.
Democrats have already said they'd make sure there were not enough votes to kick him out of the Speaker's chair if he brings the Senate bill up for a vote.

I would make the first bill up for a vote aid to Ukraine. If it does not pass I would not vote for the other two. This seems like a transparent attempt by comrade Johnson and his Kremlin concubines (aka the GOP) to separate Ukraine from the herd to make it more vulnerable. I suppose one should bite ones tongue, at least it now has a chance of passing.
