Slovakia announces the end of military aid to Ukraine
Slovakia has until now been a staunch supporter of Kyiv since Russia invaded in February last year, donating arms and opening its borders for refugees fleeing the war.

The note about a new coalition government for them including a pro-Russia right-wing party suggests to me that this was part of what they had to concede to get the government working.
Not as such. Smer, the party of returning Slovakian PM Robert Fico is openly pro-Russia, and promised to end aid to Ukraine if re-elected.Slovakia announces the end of military aid to Ukraine

Smer is officially a social-democratic party and was founded as a centre-left movement, but has gradually become nationalistic, socially conservative and pro-Russia. They’re governed at least once before with the right-wing Slovak National Party. This time they’ve been joined in government by Hlas, a new party split from Smer, and lead by a former Slovakian prime minister. Hlas originally looked to be a more progressive and pro-European version of Smer, but they’re basically identical now.
(Progressive Slovakia, a liberal party (centre-left on social issues, centre-right on economics) came second in the election, but couldn’t form a government as Hlas immediately sided with Smer.)

Ukraine aid from US in doubt after failed Senate vote
Security aid is in jeopardy as US Republicans insist on new US-Mexico border security measures.

Yeah, republicans are making a show of one of their big talking points, and the democrats (and rightly so.) want it in a seperate bill so the aid isn't contingent on anything else. Everything will get passed, just slowly: this is all just clickbait.
As usual, the Republican party's whole stance is "Democrats want it so we hate it." And as usual, they're more than ready to sit there and weigh everything else down and throw tantrums about it so they can later yell about how the government doesn't work, knowing most of their base won't bother to notice that it's their own doing. And if other countries suffer for it, who cares.
What do you mean?
I'm not sure what he means, but it's absolutely exposing the bad actors in the high tiers of US government.
It's another reminder that our commitment isn't worth much. You don't see how that weakens us?
It doesn't matter whose fault it is. Ask Ukraine if it's any consolation that half our government wanted to help.
