The "Big Beautiful Bill": Another 60 Billion for Ukraine. Senator Lindsey Graham and Richa

• https://www.globalresearch.ca, By Helena Glass

"The Logan Act is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. It is intended to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the U.S. government's position."

On June 2, Kyiv has a debt payment due to hedge fund investors in the amount of $665 million. 

Zelenskky has declared Ukraine will not make the payment and no restructuring agreement has been made. Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal decided that they would fly to Kyiv to celebrate the passage thru the house of a New Great Bill that will give Ukraine another $60 billion of US taxpayer funds. The One Big Beautiful Bill is now in the senate – wherein no one will read it and simply vote according to their scripted Handlers.

The Big Beautiful Bill is over 1,100 pages. And given the laziness of Congress I doubt they will even get thru the Table of Contents for their back flap book report. If you want to give it a shot – here it is.

It is notable that this Bill contributed to Elon Musk's negative comments claiming it adds significantly to the deficit and basically negates DOGE cost cutting. There are a few Defense budgets that stand out: 1)  Indo-Pacific – which would coincide with Hegseth's fear mongering about China and Taiwan, and 2) the largest single allocation – over $4 billion for 'classified' military space superiority. 

The Bill is sponsored by Jody Arrington, a war hawk from the Bush/Cheney era. His political contributors include Koch, Inc and AIPAC.   

It is notable that so many politicians have been able to easily come and go in Ukraine without incident – but then AI does wonders when you need to create fake stage sets. While in "Ukraine", Graham and Blumenthal both stepped across the line of the Logan Act by specifically engaging in political dialogue and government activities with a nation at war.  When those comments cross to tariffs and the imposition of sanctions, and funding they have overlorded OFAC and The Treasury. 

OFAC: The Office of Foreign Assets Control, is a financial intelligence and enforcement agency of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions. 

As US Senators, Graham and Blumenthal are responsible for writing laws, oversight of the executive branch, budget authority, confirmation of presidential nominees and the ratification of treaties. They are representatives of their 'STATE" – not the country.
