Senate Republicans Stall Foreign Aid and Border Bill, Immigration Deal Falters

TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans blocked the advancement of a bipartisan foreign aid bill with new border provisions, falling short of the 60 votes needed. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer presented a second option without the border provisions, but it's uncertain if it will garner enough support. Republicans had initially insisted on border provisions as a condition for passing Ukraine aid before changing their stance. The House is in disarray, and there's hope for bipartisan collaboration to advance a national security package without border provisions.
