It makes me almost physically ill to know that while are freezing in the cold at the border, our government budgeted another $800+ billion for defense contractors to spend on fancy new toys. Don't ever let politicians tell you there's no money for public welfare programs.

Huge wins today!

The Senate passes a $1.7 trillion spending budget, including $45b towards Ukraine. Now goes to the House, expects to pass as well.

Arizona agrees to remove those ridiculous storage containers acting as a fence from the border. It is a win for the environment as well!

Democrats and a small number of Republicans who worked with them, continue to deliver.

1 trillion is written with 12 zeros: 1,000,000,000,000
