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

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.
You would be surprised on how many people here have no idea how our own government works. I had a pretty heated discussion a couple of weeks ago on here with someone who swore to me that since the House controls spending they can retroactively strip the Ukraine funding from the already passed into law Omnibus bill. They swore that was how it worked. That the House could change already enacted bills that are now law without going through the Senate or the President. I swear, some people really need to watch this video.

Well, I can't argue with you there. I've had the same type of arguments with people here.
It really is concerning how poorly educated people are in the matter. And how convinced they are that they're right.
Not saying I'm perfect. I've had my ass handed to me a few times here. But at least I can admit when I'm wrong when the evidence is there.
