House Divided on Stopgap Spending Bill Over Ukraine Aid
- Marjorie Taylor Greene opposed the continuing resolution to prevent a partial government shutdown because it includes funding for Ukraine
- The resolution passed with bipartisan support, splitting House Republicans
- This was the second stopgap spending bill under Speaker Johnson, despite his pledge not to govern through continuing resolutions
- The conservative House Freedom Caucus also opposed the resolution, seeing it as a failure since it continues Democratic policies
- Greene said her "red line" would be additional Ukraine funding, which she claims is funding a war that's "pretty much over"
