TL;DR Summary

Senate Republicans have decided to kill the bipartisan border security bill negotiated with Democrats, despite initial support from Sen. James Lankford and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The bill faced opposition from within the Republican party and is unlikely to garner the necessary 60 votes to break a filibuster. This also means that aid to Ukraine and Israel will be blocked for now. The future of the bill and aid provisions remains uncertain, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer indicating a determination to keep pushing for their passage.
