Trump suffers another staggering rebuke as House passes Ukraine measure he opposed

By Matthew Chapman
Published June 4, 2026 9:10 PM ET

President Donald Trump's grip over the House of Representatives continued to loosen on Thursday, as 18 Republicans broke ranks to pass a foreign military aid measure his administration doesn't support, a new report revealed.

According to Politico, the measure, which was also opposed by House GOP leadership, is a "strong show of support for Kyiv and the first time a standalone aid package has passed either chamber during Trump’s second term."

The measure also includes a new round of sanctions on Russia.

This is all on the Republican Party. They own the damage that they are creating for our reputation over the next 29 years.

We should obviously take wins where we can get them, but I wouldn't put it past the GOP machinery to orchestrate some political theater to try and make voters take their eyes off the mid-term prize.

Justice matters.

It likely won't pass the Senate and Trump can veto it if it does. It's easy for endangered Republicans to vote for this when they know it probably won't become law.

in 26 and 28. If he's pushing out everyone who crosses him now, how does that change? I'm still waiting for any bill to pass that Trump doesn't support. Or get enacted if it does get passed (Epstein).

I want you to be right. Talk me into it, please.
