          I shared 600 pages tonight. I’m done tweeting them for the evening. If they insist on voting, I will vote no because it spends to much and there’s just too little time to read the bill and let everyone know what’s actually in it. Thanks for sticking with me.

          Trump has leeway to spend or not to spend. He won't be wasting $$ on this stuff--just wait and see. This is not a budget bill, so he is not constrained as he would be if it were.

          Overseeing unused facilities has been a thing for a while. Near my home town there are bunkers full of mustard gas and chlorine gas from wwi. They're heavily guarded, all because they're not allowed to be destroyed in place, and no more be wants them transported.

          Every new base commander gets asked about it. Every time the answer is the same. You can't destroy it in place, you can't transport it elsewhere. So there it sits. Every year the same argument. Every year the same conclusion.
