Recent efforts by the Republican-controlled House to hold up aid to Ukraine reflects the perception that the U.S. is spending too much money on Ukraine at the expense of domestic priorities (such as increased security at the US-Mexico border).
Let’s look at the facts with a quick Q&A:
How much aid has the US provided to Ukraine so far?
What will Ukraine do if it doesn’t get American aid?

@TheConversationUS that's a misframing of what's going on.
It's not that the House is holding up aid. It's that it's up to the House (and Senate) as to whether it's right to give the aid.
It's like saying I'm holding up money for McDonald's because maybe I don't want a Big Mac.
No, this framing gets it exactly backwards.
