Members of the House Freedom Caucus are looking to tank funding for Ukraine defense by adding poison pills to the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who was in the Freedom Caucus until recently, proposed an amendment cutting some $300 million in new funding for Ukraine. That amendment was just one of six Greene proposed, with the other five focusing on banning Pentagon funding for gender transition services and cutting DEI initiatives, among other things.
