    Also what amounts are going where? Could be 39 billion to the border and 1 billion to Ukraine.

    They intentionally lump these sums together so that they can distribute it as they desire. There is no reason to do this other then to hide funding.

      I mean you could have just read the article.

      13B for defense support and 8B in Humanitarian aid for Ukraine. 12B for federal disaster funding. ~7B for border funding, Fentanyl seizure Ops, and other stuff. So the 7B is vague, but it’s a budget. You could probably just go to the house or senate page once it’s released to get the details.
