Well, folks, there was huge news over the weekend. Taylor Swift's brand new album drop.

I'll get to the actual news in just a second. I just wanted to mention, I am putting together a full review of Taylor Swift's new album, which is titled The Tortured Poets Department.

The album is 31 songs and two hours long. It's a Vagnarian ring cycle. Dante's Inferno only had 34 cantos.

Congresspeople would be put on record about each one of these issues. And all four elements

of this bill passed with flying colors. So there are four elements to the bill.

Element number one is the Ukraine aid, which is about $61 billion. That passed 311 to 112.

Now, a majority of Republicans did vote against this bill. However, the reality is that the vast

majority of Republicans are in favor of Ukraine aid. How do you know this?

Because there was an attempt by Marjorie Taylor Green, who's an opponent, of course,

of the Ukraine aid to zero out the Ukraine age. She introduced an amendment that would have

gotten rid of all of the Ukraine aid in the combined package of the bill. Only 71 Republicans
