Twenty-Two House Republicans Demand Accountability on Biden's $ : The House of Representatives, on May 10, approved President Biden's $33 billion package for the war in Ukraine, and then, on its own initiative, added $7 billion on top of it. That brought the new war spending authorization to $40 billion, on top of the $14 billion already spent just 10 weeks into this war, which U.S. officials predict will last years, not months. The House vote in favor was 388-57. All 57 NO votes were from GOP House members. All House Democrats, including the Squad, voted YES. A similar scene occurred when the Senate, “ moving quickly and with little debate ,” overwhelmingly approved the same war package. All eleven NO votes were from Senate Republicans.
