The Ukraine funding window may be closing on Biden

Ukraine’s strongest supporters in Washington are looking at the three-week sprint after Thanksgiving as their best remaining hope of getting aid to the country.

But as Democrats continue to publicly express hope for the Biden administration’s nearly $106 billion funding request for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, they also remain vexed about how to move a bill through the Republican-run House.

The dynamics of the GOP House have alarmed the West Wing. Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated that he’ll at some point bring a vote on Ukraine, but those in the White House do not yet have a clear read on the new Republican leader or his negotiating style, according to two senior aides not authorized to speak publicly about private deliberations.

Few in Biden’s orbit have ever met Johnson, a religious conservative who was largely unknown until his stunning ascent to the speakership. And while the West Wing didn’t appreciate former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s grandstanding, they did feel like he eventually wanted to deal — and they are less sure about Johnson, according to the officials. Moreover, the same fringe group of Republicans who ousted McCarthy wield that same power over Johnson — and they are largely opposed to helping Ukraine, making a path to deal that much more difficult.

“People are well aware that if a vote were put up in the House of Representatives today, it would pass with an overwhelming majority of members — that the issue is not the level of support as it is getting to that vote,” said Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.). “Because of the political conditions and the change in leadership, getting the vote has been the hard part.”

On two occasions already, Democrats tried but failed to get aid to Ukraine in a must-pass funding bill. With another deadline to spark action not coming until the latest stopgap funding bills expire in late January and early February, many of Congress’ strongest Ukraine backers fear the country can’t wait that long.

“I don’t know that Ukraine can survive until February of 2024,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said. “My sense is they start to run short on ammunition in the next several weeks.”

Believing there is an immediate need, Ukraine advocates are gearing up for a standalone Senate vote on funding when they return from break. Should that vote happen, it would provide a massive test both for the administration’s ability to work Capitol Hill and one of the bedrock elements of the president’s foreign policy agenda.

But the main obstacle still remains: what to do about Republican opposition.

Mitch McConnell has said border policy must be included in the deal in order to get Ukraine funding through Congress.

Since passage of the last Ukraine supplemental, Kyiv’s counteroffensive has stalled and conservative support in Washington has crumbled with the GOP’s leader, Donald Trump, opposing it. The outbreak of war in the Middle East has led to the addition of aid to Israel — and growing demands by progressive Democrats for a cease-fire and conditions on aid to Israel.

While support for Israel has strong support in both chambers, senators and administration officials insist that Israel and Ukraine funding remain together.

The thornier challenge is meeting the Republican demand that the package address border policy. The administration’s request includes funding for border security, but the GOP insists it include policy changes to stem the number of people crossing the border, too.

“If Republicans want to have a serious conversation about reforms that will improve our immigration system, we are open to a discussion,” a White House spokesperson said. “We disagree with many of the policies contained in the Senate Republican border proposal. Further, we do not see anything in their proposal about creating an earned path to citizenship for Dreamers and others.”

The bipartisan group of lawmakers who are trying to negotiate a border compromise have continued to talk over the Thanksgiving break, according to a Senate aide. But for many lawmakers, the initial meetings before the holiday only brought the challenge into clearer view.

“They’ve been frustrating,” Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, one of the lead Republicans in the group, said of the discussions. “We’ll see what happens. I’m not going to support an appropriation supplemental that doesn’t have real border security.”

Democratic Ukraine supporters have embraced the idea that they must include border policy reforms. And while they don’t like marrying the two unrelated issues, they do see an upside if they’re able to address the political thorny issue of the border.

“This is really important funding. I think it’s important for the civilized world to take a stand against dictators like Vladimir Putin and terrorist groups like Hamas,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) said. “And I also think we have a failed policy at the southern border, and we need to look at ways to fix it.”

The White House is not directly involved in the border conversations, but officials have expressed support for them publicly and privately, according to several people involved in the discussions.

“President Biden and the leaders in the Senate, both Republican and Democrat, are rock solid in their support of Ukraine,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who is close with Biden, said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“We have to bear down, get this done and get this supplemental passed soon because the brave Ukrainians who are fighting as winter is coming are looking at losing the supplies they’ve needed for ammunition, for missiles, for drones, for defense, for armor, and we cannot possibly afford to abandon Ukraine,” he added. “If our Republican colleagues demand too much in this negotiation, we won’t be able to get it passed in the Senate and then in the House.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said border policy must be included in the deal in order to get Ukraine funding through Congress. Inside the White House, McConnell has emerged as an unlikely hero for his steadfast support of Ukraine, which has helped, to a large degree, keep his party in line. But the West Wing has growing fears that the Kentucky senator’s grip on his party has slipped, according to the two senior aides granted anonymity to speak about private discussions.

And a border deal carries risk for Democrats. A chief Republican policy proposal would increase the standard migrants must clear to gain asylum into the United States, an idea strongly opposed by progressives.

“We’ve been the beacon of light around this world for many, many generations, when it comes to people who are fleeing violence and fleeing for the sake of their life,” said Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.). “For us to actually weaken that process would be shameful on America. It would be a shame to any member of the House or the Senate that would ever put that on this president’s desk, and I don’t see this president signing a bill with that in it.”

Members of several House caucuses — the Congressional Asian Pacific American, Congressional Black, Congressional Hispanic and Congressional Progressive caucuses — said in a statement earlier this month that they deeply oppose attaching new policy to a funding bill.

Lawmakers demand answers from AP, Reuters amid accusations their journalists knew about Hamas attack

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., is asking the Associated Press and Reuters to answer questions about their journalists’ knowledge of the October 7th Hamas attack after Israel accused the outlets of having a forewarning of the terrorist strike that killed over 1,200 people. 

Lawler, along with a bipartisan group of lawmakers, are penning letters to the news outlets demanding answers about any possible knowledge they may have had prior to the Hamas attack, which the outlets previously denied.

“That these journalists would knowingly not share this information, and in the process save thousands of Israeli and Gazan lives, is simply beyond the pale,” said Lawler. 

ISRAEL SETS ITS EYES ON SOUTHERN GAZA AS IDF MOPS UP HAMAS REMNANTS IN NORTHERN GAZA CITY

After a report from Honest Reporting raised ethical questions about why some AP and Reuters journalists were at the site of attack shortly after the atrocities occurred, the Israeli government’s press office director, Nitzan Chen, accused the outlets of being “alongside Hamas terrorists, documenting the murder of Israeli civilians, lynching of soldier and kidnappings to Gaza,” according to a letter obtained by Politico. 

Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said that if the allegations are true, and the journalists “had prior knowledge of this deadly attack, yet said nothing, is morally repugnant and need to be thoroughly investigated.”

“It’s not enough to just verify the authenticity of images – these outlets have a moral obligation to ensure they aren’t being used as pawns to spread Hamas propaganda,” said McCaul. 

However, the Associated Press and Reuters are denying any involvement.

The Associated Press said “the first pictures AP received from any freelancer show they were taken more than an hour after the attacks began. No AP staff were at the border at the time of the attacks, nor did any AP staffer cross the border at any time.” 

Reuters also asserted that their staffers were “not on the ground at the locations referred to in the Honest Reporting article.”

ISRAEL, HAMAS AGREE ON TEMPORARY CEASE-FIRE IN GAZA STRIP, RELEASE OF 50 HOSTAGES

Nonetheless, Lawler wants the news organizations to “come clean” so that the lawmakers can “get to the bottom” of the events that occurred in the early hours prior to the terrorist attack. 

“These companies must come clean about any involvement or advance notice their contractors or employees may have had of the October 7th massacres,” said Lawler. “It should not be hard for both news outlets to provide answers, and we must get to the bottom of this. We demand the truth.”

McCaul added that the outlets should “ensure their reporting is independent and impartial.”

Fox News has reached out to both the Associated Press and Reuters for comment.

Virginia Democrats reveal 2024 agenda after Youngkin, GOP fall short in midterm election

Abortion and gun control are the top priorities for Virginia Democrats heading into the new year after their election wins earlier this month.

Bills and resolutions to ensure abortion access and ban so-called assault weapons were filed Monday as Democratic leaders set the agenda for the 2024 legislative session. Democrats propose increasing the state’s minimum wage and automatically restoring voting rights for convicted felons who have completed their sentences.

Del. Don Scott, the new speaker of the House and first Black man to hold the office, said the upcoming legislative session will move Virginia forward.

“I am especially glad to see the resolution to start the process of codifying the automatic restoration of rights,” Scott said in a news release. “With this, we are sending a message that there is no room for the spirit of Jim Crow that has plagued our Commonwealth for far too long.” 

YOUGKIN FALLS SHORT IN HIS MISSION TO WIN TOTAL GOP CONTROL OF VIRGINIA STATE LEGISLATURE

If the resolutions for abortion access and restoring felons’ rights pass the legislature, it would be the first step in a lengthy process to amend the state constitution. The amendments would then need to pass the legislature during a second year, and then be put to voters for approval in a state referendum, according to The Associated Press. 

House of Delegates Majority Leader Charnlele Herring, who sponsored the abortion resolution, said Democrats were keeping a promise made throughout the 2023 campaign cycle. 

DEMOCRAT SEEKS RECOUNT IN RAZOR-THIN VIRGINIA HOUSE RACE

“It has become all too clear that without constitutional protection, access to reproductive healthcare is at risk for the Commonwealth,” Herring said.

Bills filed in both the House and Senate would make buying, selling or transferring an assault firearm a Class 1 misdemeanor, subject to up to 12 months in jail. The bills use an existing state definition of “assault firearm,” which covers semiautomatic, center-fire rifles and pistols that use magazines holding more than 20 rounds of ammunition or are “designed by the manufacturer to accommodate a silencer or equipped with a folding stock.”

The state Senate passed a similar bill earlier this year, but it died in the House, which was then controlled by Republicans.

VIRGINIA SENATE NAMES CAUCUS LEADERS FOR UPCOMING LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Democrats retained control of the state Senate and flipped the state House of Delegates from Republicans in the Nov. 7 election. The elections grabbed national attention, as Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin campaigned for several GOP candidates in what came to be viewed as a barometer ahead of next year’s 2024 elections and a test of Youngkin’s political strength. 

Two years ago, Republicans in Virginia won elections for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general — their first statewide victories in a dozen years – and they flipped the House. The victories in a state that had trended blue over the previous decade energized Republicans nationwide.

This year, however, Democrats successfully campaigned on preserving abortion access and Youngkin, who advocated for a 15-week abortion restriction, lost the argument with voters. Now, he must contend with a Democratic-controlled legislature that will stymie his conservative agenda for the remainder of his term.

Biden reflects on John F. Kennedy assassination, 60 years ago

President Biden on Wednesday marked the 60th anniversary of former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination with a message of hope about the future, writing that Kennedy’s death was “a defining moment of deep trauma and loss that shocked the soul of our nation.”

“In life and in death, President Kennedy changed the way we saw ourselves — a country full of youthful hopes and ambition, steeled with the seasoned strength of a people who’ve overcome profound loss by turning pain into unyielding purpose,” Biden wrote in a statement.

“He called us to take history into our own hands, and to never quit striving to build an America that lives up to its highest ideals,” he added.

Biden recalled his own experiencing learning about Kennedy’s death, describing the moment as one carved into the nation’s collective memory, saying, “I was in college and had just left class, joining other students glued to the news in silence along with the entire country.”

Biden described Kennedy’s death as having “awakened a generation,” noting Kennedy “set our nation’s compass firmly on many of the most consequential issues of the 20th century, from civil rights, to voting rights, to equal pay for women.”

“He led with calm resolve through the most dangerous moments of the Cold War. And at the dawn of a new decade, he called us forward to a new frontier, propelling us to the moon and beyond. He inspired a nation to see public service as a calling,” Biden said.

He said Kennedy helped inspire his own decades-long career in public service. Biden, who frequently talks about the importance of his own faith, is only the second Catholic president, after Kennedy.

“Like millions, I deeply felt his conviction and dreams for America,” he said.

“His ideas rhymed with the lessons I’d learned from the nuns at school and around my father’s kitchen table — that we are each called to do good works on this earth, to try to make our world a better place in the service of others,’ Biden said. “But what stuck with me most was President Kennedy’s courage, his heroic sense of duty, and his family’s capacity to absorb profound suffering.”

“On this day, we remember that he saw a nation of light, not darkness; of honor, not grievance; a place where we are unwilling to postpone the work that he began and that we all must now carry forward. We remember the unfulfilled promise of his presidency – not only as a tragedy, but as an enduring call to action to each do all we can for our country,” Biden said.

Almost half in new poll say too much money is going to Ukraine

Nearly half of U.S. adults say too much funding is going to Ukraine amid its war with Russia, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

Opposition to aid, however, is down from last month and seems to be driven by a decline in opposition from Republicans.

In the latest poll from The Associated Press/NORC Center for Public Affairs, 45 percent of those surveyed said the U.S. government is spending too much on aid to Ukraine, down from 52 percent in October.

Republican opposition to aid, however, remains strong, with 59 percent of GOP respondents saying the government is spending too much on aid. That’s down from 69 percent who said the same in October.

Thirty-eight percent of respondents said current spending is “about the right amount,” up slightly from October. Among Republicans, nearly 30 percent said spending is about right, up from 20 percent last month.

Support for Ukraine appears to be more robust among Democrats across a swath of categories. Nearly half of the public, 48 percent, supports providing weapons to Ukraine — 57 percent of Democrats and 42 percent of Republicans.

About four in 10 U.S. adults support sending government funds directly to Ukraine — 54 percent of Democrats and 24 percent of Republicans.

Congress has yet to pass the White House’s emergency supplemental request for funds for national security, Ukraine aid and Israel aid. That package would include $61 billion for Ukraine, which Biden administration said is necessary for the war-torn country.

The AP-NORC poll was conducted Nov. 2-6 among 1,239 adults, and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.

Biden’s nursing home staffing rules divide Democrats ahead of 2024

The Biden administration is walking a political tightrope with its plan to impose minimum staffing levels on nursing homes.  

The White House is facing criticism from the left and the right, and the proposal is dividing Democrats, especially some front-line members facing a difficult reelection in 2024. Those lawmakers, mostly from rural areas, argue that the proposal is too strict and would force nursing homes to close.  

“In many parts of the country, America’s long-term care facilities are facing severe workforce shortage issues that are harming access to critical care for our nation’s seniors,” Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), one of the Senate’s most vulnerable Democrats, wrote in a bipartisan letter.  

“With this in mind, we are deeply concerned that now is the worst possible time for the United States to establish the nation’s first federal staffing mandate for long-term care facilities.”

Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.) and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), and independents Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) and Angus King (Maine) also signed the letter, along with more than 20 Republicans. 

On the House side, Rep. Greg Pence (R-Ind.) led a bipartisan letter with Democratic Reps. Jared Golden (Maine) and Chris Pappas (N.H.).  

The lawmakers said the rule would result in “limited access to care for seniors, mandatory increases in state Medicaid budgets, and could most consequentially lead to widespread nursing home closures.” 

Their arguments echo industry groups who say any federal standard is unfeasible because of a nationwide staffing shortage made worse by the pandemic.  

They say it also amounts to an unfunded federal mandate because Medicaid reimbursement rates are too low.  

Almost 95 percent of nursing homes do not meet at least one of the three proposed staffing requirements, according to the American Health Care Association, a long-term care trade group that represents 14,000 nursing homes.  

The rule “will only result in negative, unintended consequences for residents, staff, and the entire health care system,” the organization said. 

President Biden last year announced a slate of nursing home reforms and vowed staffing minimums would be among them. Advocates have been calling for such a requirement for more than two decades, arguing that residents are safer and have better care with more staff, but the industry has successfully resisted thus far. 

The proposed rule was published Sept. 1 and attracted nearly 50,000 comments by the Nov. 6 deadline.  

Nursing home experts said the massive amount of interest in the policy gives the administration very little room to maneuver.   

“I think there is somewhat of a zero-sum nature to this, as it’s currently written,” said David Grabowski, a professor of health policy at Harvard Medical School.  

“This hasn’t fallen across [traditional] party lines, and both sides are sort of worried about access issues, and I think both sides are worried about nursing home quality, and I’ve never thought of that as being an issue for the left or the right.” 

Grabowski said he would like to see more political will behind giving nursing homes more money to meet the requirements. 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) said it will invest $75 million in boosting workforce recruitment and training, but Grabowski said that likely won’t be nearly enough to overcome the existing shortages. 

Current law requires only that homes have “sufficient” staffing, but it leaves nearly all interpretation to the states. 

The current law also requires nursing homes to have a registered nurse (RN) on duty for eight consecutive hours per day, seven days a week, and to have a licensed nurse — either an RN or licensed practical nurse — on site 24/7.  

Among other provisions, the new proposal would require facilities to have an RN on staff 24 hours per day, seven days per week.   

The proposal would also require nursing homes to provide at least three hours of direct care per resident per day, including at least 33 minutes from a registered nurse. 

Alice Burns, an associate director of KFF’s Program on Medicaid and the Uninsured, said rural areas have historically suffered from workforce shortages, so she understands why lawmakers from rural districts are concerned about the proposal.  

Still, she said their broad opposition is “puzzling,” because the proposal has a hardship exemption that would allow nursing facilities to maintain lower staffing levels if they met certain requirements.  

Edward Miller, chair of the gerontology department at the University of Massachusetts Boston, said he could see the administration broadening the exemption for rural facilities. 

“It’s one thing to raise the standard to create a mandate. But if it’s unrealistic for rural areas to satisfy that requirement, you think it would be in the administration’s interest, particularly with an election year, to either give them more time or just … modify the standard or waive it altogether,” Miller said. 

“There is plenty of opportunity for the administration to modify this to reflect the realities on the ground, particularly in low resource areas,” he added.  

On the flip side, other Democrats and consumer and nursing home advocates, including unions, want the administration to strengthen the requirements. They said the rule was a positive step, but overall doesn’t go far enough.  

“Residents deserve the best of care from highly trained, fairly compensated, and sufficiently numbered staff. We therefore strongly urge you to quickly strengthen and finalize” the proposal, wrote Reps. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and 99 other House Democrats. 

“Our nation’s 1.2 million nursing home residents deserve high quality care that prioritizes their safety. The proposed rule takes a vital step towards ensuring residents receive this high quality care by establishing commonsense staffing minimums and improving enforcement,” Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) wrote in a letter with 11 other Senate Democrats. 

Casey, who is facing a Republican challenger next year, also called for more support to help nursing homes comply with the new rules.  

“We urge CMS to provide for strong enforcement of a final staffing standard while ensuring state survey agencies and their staffs are adequately resourced to conduct this important work,” the lawmakers said.

Biden admin reacts to temporary cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas, release of hostages

President Biden and other administration officials said Tuesday that they welcomed the temporary cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas that includes the release of hostages.

Qatari negotiators helped broker the deal, which included Israel’s military agreeing to temporarily stop its airstrikes and ground invasion of Gaza for humanitarian purposes. Additionally, Hamas has agreed to release dozens of hostages in tandem and Israel has agreed to release Palestinian prisoners on a 3-to-1 ratio. Hamas leaders will release one hostage for every three Palestinians that Israel releases from its prisons.

Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken all released statements supporting the agreement between Israeli officials and Hamas terrorists amid the ongoing war in the Middle East.

The president said he welcomes the deal to secure the release of hostages taken by Hamas during its “brutal assault” against Israel on Oct. 7 and that he is “extraordinarily gratified that some of these brave souls, who have endured weeks of captivity and an unspeakable ordeal, will be reunited with their families once this deal is fully implemented.”

ISRAEL. HAMAS AGREE TO TEMPORARY CEASE-FIRE, HOSTAGE RELEASE DEAL INCLUDING FREEING 3 AMERICANS

“I thank Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani of Qatar and President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi of Egypt for their critical leadership and partnership in reaching this deal,” Biden wrote. “And I appreciate the commitment that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government have made in supporting an extended pause to ensure this deal can be fully carried out and to ensure the provision of additional humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of innocent Palestinian families in Gaza. I look forward to speaking with each of these leaders and staying in close contact as we work to ensure this deal is carried through in its entirety. It is important that all aspects of this deal be fully implemented.”
 
Biden continued his statement by saying he has “no higher priority” than ensuring American hostages around the world are safely released.

“That’s why – from the earliest moments of Hamas’s brutal assault – my national security team and I have worked closely with regional partners to do everything possible to secure the release of our fellow citizens,” Biden wrote. “We saw the first results of that effort in late October, when two Americans were reunited with their loved ones. Today’s deal should bring home additional American hostages, and I will not stop until they are all released. Today’s deal is a testament to the tireless diplomacy and determination of many dedicated individuals across the United States Government to bring Americans home.”

OPINION: 2 HAMAS HOSTAGES RELEASED ISN’T ENOUGH! WE NEED TO BRING THEM ALL BACK

Harris said in her statement that she welcomes “the commitment that Israel has made to support an extended pause to ensure this deal can be fully carried out and to ensure additional humanitarian assistance reaches civilians in Gaza” and that “the flow of aid must substantially increase and civilians must be protected.” She also called on Hamas to “release all the remaining hostages.”
 
“President Biden and I have no higher priority than the safety of Americans, and we welcome that today’s agreement means some Americans should be coming home,” Harris wrote. “As I have told families of Americans held hostage: as they advocate for the release of their loved ones, they are not alone. We will not waver in our commitment to these Americans.”

The office of Israel’s prime minister confirmed that at least 50 women and children taken hostage by Hamas will be released during a four-day pause in the fighting.

In a statement Tuesday night, Blinken wrote that he cannot imagine what the hostages have endured the past few weeks and that he is thankful they will soon be reunited with their loved ones.

“Today’s outcome is the result of tireless diplomacy and relentless effort across the Department and broader United States government,” Blinken said. “I appreciate the leadership and ongoing partnership of Egypt and Qatar in this work. I also thank the government of Israel for supporting a humanitarian pause that will facilitate the transfer of hostages to safety and allow additional humanitarian assistance to reach Palestinian civilians in Gaza. While this deal marks significant progress, we will not rest as long as Hamas continues to hold hostages in Gaza. My highest priority is the safety and security of Americans overseas, and we will continue our efforts to secure the release of every hostage and their swift reunification with their families.”

STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS ‘TRANSITION PERIOD’ MUST FOLLOW ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR

Approximately 14,000 people have been killed in Gaza and Israel since Hamas launched its largest attack against Israel in decades on Oct. 7, leading to a military response from Israeli forces. Thousands more have been wounded, and many others have been taken hostage by Hamas and raped, tortured and murdered. About 10 Americans in the region remain unaccounted for.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog also released a statement about the agreement with Hamas, saying “[the] reservations are understandable, painful, and difficult, but given the circumstances I back and support the decision of the Prime Minister and the Government to move forward with the deal to release hostages.”

“This is a moral and ethical duty that correctly expresses the Jewish and Israeli value of securing the freedom of those held captive, with the hope that it will be the first step in returning all the hostages home,” Herzog wrote. “The State of Israel, the IDF, and all the security forces will continue to act in every way possible to achieve this goal, alongside the restoration of the absolute security of the citizens of Israel.”
