House passes critical aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan along with a TikTok ban
WASHINGTON — The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of aid for Ukraine and $26 billion in aid for Israel.
The Ukraine bill, which passed 311- 112 with one present, will head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that would force TikTok’s parent company to sell the platform.

Senate Passes Spying Bill, Rejecting Privacy Concerns
WASHINGTON—The Senate passed legislation early Saturday renewing a controversial foreign spying power, prevailing over objections from privacy advocates who warned the measure could lead to a dramatic expansion of government surveillance on Americans.
In a 60-34 vote senators approved a bill to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for two years just as it was due to expire, after several amendments failed. The legislation passed the House last week and was signed on Saturday by President Biden, whose administration views the law as vital to protecting national security.
