Once again, to repeat, this foreign aid package:
-was in the Trump budget
-was approved by the GOP controlled Senate Approps Committee (and SFOPS subcmte chaired by one @LindseyGrahamSC)
-garnered the votes of 128 of 195 House Republicans on Monday https://twitter.com/GOPLeader/status/1341934700219277313
Additional facts about what House GOP want to renegotiate:
-totals $55.5B, $10.8B more than Trump request
-just under 4% of all FY21 disc spending
-most is not direct foreign aid; it's funding for @StateDept, @USAID and multilateral orgs
-bumping checks to $2K would cost ~$370B
