 The WaPo tells us...

The lone Democrat to vote against the recently passed short-term spending bill to fund the federal government was Rep. Mike Quigley (Ill.), co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. He opposed the resolution’s lack of Ukraine aid.

Quigley tweeted that the bill “is a victory for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and his sympathizers. We now have 45 days to correct this mistake.”

It's just so odd, that those accused of being in the sway of dictator Putin also just happen to be very concerned about this money,  but not one other thing I'm the military budget. Not the 28, 000 US troops in South Korea and all the millions it costs to keep them there. Just Ukraine.  So odd.
