Even assuming those bits actually don't have a covid relief justification, "Much, much more" (AKA the stuff that is too obviously Covid relief related for them to add to the list) is still $1.899 trillion dollars out of $1.9 trillion dollars.

$50 million is less than 0.003% of $1.9 trillion.

That’s 0.0006 trillion out of the 1.9 trillion dollar bill

It’s the standard republican bullshit of pulling out tiny items out of a bill and framing them to fuel outrage. They don’t want to attack what the bill is really for so they do this instead.

They won’t mention the trillion dollar fuck up the F 35 program turnes out to be.
