Title III of the Ukraine Aid bill: $481 million for refugee and entrant assistance. The Administration for Children and Families gives this money to the NGOs coordinating the border invasion. Incredible. Thanks, @SpeakerJohnson

The Ukraine Aid bill expands direct loans made under section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act, and the Foreign Military Financing Program. Amount of each is raised from $4 billion to $8 billion, and loans can be made to all "major non-Nato allies, and the Indo-Pacific region"

Well look at that. $113 billion later, Congress is finally going to ask the Biden admin what the actual plan in Ukraine is. Better late than never I guess! Seems like we'd wanna do that BEFORE tossing another $60 million on the pile, but what the hell do I know

Section 505 of the Ukraine aid bill: We're sending them long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems. It's fine. This is fine. I wonder what those will pull on the black market.

Good news, that $7.9 billion "Economic Support Fund" that Ukraine can use for whatever it wants besides pensions? Our government is gonna do its very best to see how it's spent, "to the maximum extent practicable". Or we'll just have a third party do it. Whatever.

@Oilfield_Rando Perhaps @Havoc_Six should actually read the bill, considering he’s so adamant on wasting American tax dollars because he cares more about foreigners than Americans He even is justifying the bill He’s anti-American

@Oilfield_Rando Hey @RepJenKiggans , do you even read these bills you vote on? Slush funds for the Defense Secretary and DNI? Little to no accountability.
