TL;DR Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to send aid to Ukraine faces challenges as he needs Democratic support to push it through, prompting hard-line Republicans to threaten to oust him. The plan involves passing five bills, including aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Indo-Pacific allies, as well as addressing Republican demands to strengthen the southern U.S. border. Democrats are discussing how they could help Republicans pass the foreign aid bills, which remain a priority for them and President Biden, who supports the plan. The bill closely mirrors a Senate package and, if passed, would be sent to the Senate for a vote. Johnson's plan has caused further turmoil within the already divided Republican conference, with some members threatening to stymie the bills.
