The House passed a $40 billion Ukraine aid package on May 10, and all the media noted that 57 representatives voted against it. All Republicans. Now most people aren’t going to dig deeper into why, or what’s really in the bill. They’ll chalk it up to MAGA, far-right Zelenskyy is a fraud (or monster, or Soros stooge), and …
