This is grounds for the shutdown all by itself.

The case to the public is this: The Department of Defense is now the Department of War. Trump promised he’d keep us out of war, so why is he using taxpayer dollars to fund a police state in our own country and calling it a war?

Dems should refuse to fund this blatant escalation of infringements on liberty, while Republicans cut social security, Medicaid, and ACA credits that will result in deaths and destitution. We are paying them to infringe on our rights while they take the money from people who need it!

You pay your taxes while struggling with food and housing prices. Why should we continue to fund a budget that increases the debt and cuts social services while giving breaks to billionaires? Say it plainly, Chuck and Hakeem. FFS!

    So, question for the military service members. How’s it going with that whole oath to protect America from enemies both foreign and domestic? I’m not military myself, but I gotta say I have some concerns over the presumed definition of “domestic enemy”.
