🚨BREAKING NEWS: Congressman John Garamendi tells Call to Activism that Republicans are pushing a $150 BILLION slush fund for Trump and Pete Hegseth to use at their discretion to "update” American missiles – with little oversight into how the money is spent and who profits.

In a hearing, Rep. Garamendi SLAPPED back: "Have we lost our minds? $150 billion out of the mouths of children who are not going to get a school lunch."Where is this money really going? This isn't defense — it's corruption in camouflage. The media needs to follow the money.
