“I would highlight that we are increasing a blank check from $100 million to $8 billion, and we don't even know if it is spent for Ukraine or not. It is just a blank check of $16 billion to President Biden, a purely blank check. I urge my colleagues to support my amendment because we need to stop slush funds and blank checks.
