Rumors emerge House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will be STRIPPING UKRAINE AID from multiple spending bills including the OMNIBUS
SPENDING PACKAGE and stop-gap funding bill

He's talking about future bills, I'm pretty sure.
Why do you think he's talking about bills that have already been passed?
I'm not trying to be snarky or sarcastic, just wondering if I missed some info that you caught.
The OMNIBUS bill was passed back in December. When you say you are going to strip Ukraine aid from that bill that's a bill that's already passed. In order to do that he would have to get the Senate to sign off on the changes and the President to sign it. He wouldn't need to strip Ukraine aid from any future bills because he gets to write those bills, the aid would never be there to begin with. I guess he could hold the debt cap limit hostage with a poison pill to strip that aid. But Biden already said any such bill he would never sign.
Reading the article, I don't see where he's saying he's going to strip Ukraine aid from a bill that has already been passed.
I think the issue here is the title of this post. I don't the the OP is quite clear on the issue.
From the article:
The bills being spoken of here are ones that have yet to be voted on.
In OP's defense, the author of the article, "Tod", is a bit sloppy in their writing as well.
For instance, when he says:
In this case, he's using the word "like" to mean "similar to", not to mean "such as". It's sloppy writing.
This is most likely what has led to the confusion here. But in reading the article, it seems obvious that they're talking about removing aid from bills that haven't been passed yet.
That makes much more sense. Maybe OP should actually read the article before he posts it. It's bad enough we have to fight through the Fake News to learn the truth. It makes it even harder when we gaslight ourselves.
People should definitely read articles before forming conclusions on them, I agree.
But in OP's defense, it's understandable how someone could form the idea that they were talking about the bills that have already been passed. That article is not very well written.
