Man fuck this flip flopping son of a bitch of a country
They haven’t backed any of their previous appropriations,no real reason to believe they will with this either.
It’s almost like they suspect Trump will order Hegseth to make pro-Russian anti-Ukrainian treasonous moves.
Good. Lockboxes for weapons, not slush funds. This is how you ensure accountability and actually deliver on your promises.
This is a significant policy shift. It removes a major point of uncertainty for Ukraine’s military planners. Knowing that allocated weapons will actually arrive, and on schedule, allows for more effective long-term defensive and counter-offensive operations. It also signals a Congressional commitment that goes beyond just approving funds.
ICE is going to be pissed.
Yeah, that’ll stop ’em.
All well and good for Congress to give lip service to the reasonable expectation for materials purchased with appropriate funds to be used in accordance with a limitations placed on those appropriations.
However, if Congress not gonna hold the Commander in Chief, that phrase nauseates me currently, accountable for going against what Congress says, then this is nothing more than theatrics.
The Pentagon will likely do whatever the hell the orange man or his puppet Hegseth tells them to do.
Somehow the DOJ will file an injunction against Congress and allow the Pentagon to do whatever it wants “under the interest of national security.”

I kind of forgot Congress did anything.
The American Pentagon is acting as an agent of Russia.
Let’s remember to point this out over and over and over again, for the denialists who keep telling us Trump cares about American lives first.
Krasnov is a liar by trade.
The problem is that Trump might just do it, and the GOP won’t do anything.
I see you’ve made your decision. Now let’s see you enforce it.
What is this did they suddenly grow a pair? What prompted this it’s certainly not a re-election concern since MAGA don’t really care about Ukraine
They can ban all they like. Enforcement of the ban will be the issue.
Oh look, another check and balance. Surely 🍑🍑 can’t ignore this one.
Good. Crazy this is necessary. Of course wIth trump and company, its just par for the course.
Needs? How is this fucking journalism? Wants! It’s wants.
So do you think they will still do whatever they want? I’m betting they will!
We don’t have a government we have a takeover by foreign entities being run by Trump.
Trump can either sign this or show his ass by vetoing thus once and for all establishing that separation of powers mean nothing to him.
Or maybe we just impeach this administration instead of slapping their bruised wrists
Stealing weapons for arbitrary sales to support trumps theft ring is a crime regardless and people must be prosecuted with inability to pardon
This is great news – if….. IF – the Pentagon actually obeys this Congressional directive.
On the other hand…. Congress funds the military so there’s that.
And just like everything else, the ban will be ignored.
Department of Murder does not follow the law, or its leader would be off the bottle and in jail by now.
That was already illegal for the Pentagon to do, guess it’s doubly illegal now.
Can’t do this unless/until tRump signs it
If only congress acted so fast for something that would help americans….anything at all that would help americans.
If you’re still looking for The Enemy Within, this should give you a good clue as to which direction to look.
I really need a congress and house flip come midterms. Not because I’m optimistic about a bunch of change happening. More so can then confirm that the government doesn’t do shit for normal people no matter what
I’m sure this will stop them….
So if congress tells them to do something, which they then don’t do…
Why would congress telling them again make any difference?
I wanted to ask if it had a veto-proof majority. Then I saw it was part of the NDAA. Either Trump signs it or or Congress overrides his veto.
Congress still exists?
I swear he never uses the money from the National Defense Authorization Act ♂️ let alone other presidents. Pretty sure the budget is too expensive just to help Ukraine. They’re too small for one🦐 definite no because they can’t change their minds for them. Way too expensive 🫰🤼
