The headline is a bit misleading, as you can see in the 2nd paragraph of the submission text, it's the current round of assistance that has halted, and they're pushing for Congress to continue their support of Ukraine.
How the hell did we go from McCarthyism to "hurting Russia is less important than hurting democrats" in this hellhole?
It's pretty easy for a foreign government to buy a small handful of US Congresspeople or Senators to do their bidding.
Because McCarthyism wasn't about being anti-Russia, it was about being anti-communist. And since Communism is generally (always?) politically left, it's still and always has been about being reactionary conservative.
It wasn't even about political alignment, it was about trotting out a bogeyman to scare people into reactionary voting instead of informed voting.
Same as it ever was.

Well there's been about forty to fifty years between them. So... a lot?
Dark money and the southern strategy.
Once the cold war was over they needed a new enemy to vilify.
Purposely so, that site was using sources and links to RT news.
Yeah, the site is suspect. The article uses the Russian spelling "Kiev" instead of the Ukranian "Kyiv," which is a giveaway that the site might be spreading Russian propaganda. Also:

What does having Argentinian citizenship get you though, from a Russian's perspective?
And it's not that it has halted.
It has concluded.
It being halted would mean that that which was meant to be allocated is stopped from being allocated before all of it was allocated.
I'm sure Ukraine appreciates the difference.
If Zelensky and Ukrainians actions and words are an indicator, yes, they appreciate the difference between bullshit and saying what's what.
Have you missed them pleading for continued US support?
