Members of the Wisconsin congressional delegation split along party lines Thursday when voting on a package of bills to keep the federal government operating.
The $1.5 trillion package includes $14 billion in aid for Ukraine and other countries in eastern Europe.
House Armed Services Committee member Mike Gallagher, a Republican, praised funding for the Pentagon and for the U.S. defense posture in Europe, but he criticized Democrats for failing to include provisions for increased domestic oil production.
Democrat Gwen Moore praised the bill for directing resources to things like health care, education, child hunger, and climate change – but she said some areas got less than they deserved.
