TL;DR Summary

Iowa's Republican Senators Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley broke with their party to vote for a $95 billion foreign aid bill, which includes $60 billion to support Ukraine in its battle against Russia. Grassley criticized his own party for not taking action against the spread of communism in China and emphasized the importance of stopping Putin in Ukraine to prevent future conflicts. The majority of Senate Republicans opposed the aid, citing concerns about using taxpayer money for a foreign war and the absence of a plan to secure the southern border. The bill's path forward in the House is uncertain, as Speaker Mike Johnson has pledged to reject it.
