Senate Moves Ahead with $95 Billion Funding Bill for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Senate voted to advance a $95 billion military funding package for
Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The measure was stripped of border
provisions after Republicans rejected an earlier bill that included an
immigration crackdown that they themselves had demanded. Senators will
now consider sending an additional $60 billion to Ukraine and $14
billion to Israel.
