I just saw Boebert on CNN saying she won't approve the 200 billion for trump's war

I also heard Thune throwing cold water on it earlier. We shall see, and nothing Rs do will surprise me, but I think they would INSANE to support this during a midterm election year.

equipment and munitions. It's going to bullshit startup cousin-of-a-cousin companies. It's not even the
actual real defense manufacturers that make you know, actual missiles, planes and other useful items. Much is wasted on AI
data centers selling smoke in a bottle. The problem resides at the acquisition level. All this is public. You just need to know
what rock to turn over. There is an astonishing amount of fraud at every level of our government.
