Opposition to H.R. 6930, also known as the Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act, has united far left and far right members of Congress.
The bill, which authorizes President Biden to "seize assets belonging to a foreign person whose wealth is derived in part through political support for or corruption linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin," overwhelmingly passed in the House, 417-8, last week.
Democratic Reps. Cori Bush (D–Mo.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D–Minn.), and Rashida Tlaib (D–Mich.) were joined by their GOP counterparts, Reps. Madison Cawthorn (R–N.C.), Thomas Massie (R–Ky.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R–Ga.), and Chip Roy (R-Texas) in opposing the bill.
