After three weeks without a speaker, the House is back in business and putting aid to Israel at the top of its to-do list.
On the same day House Speaker Mike Johnson took office last week, the Republican-led House passed a resolution declaring solidarity with Israel and pledging to give its government the funding needed to defeat Hamas.
Now they've introduced a bill aiming to do just that — but not without controversy.
The bill would send $14.3 billion to Israel without addressing funding requests for the war in Ukraine. Johnson's new bill would pay for the spending with $14.5 billion in cuts to the long-understaffed Internal Revenue Service.
