ICYMI: As a result of the Pentagon diverting $3.6 billion to build a border wall, Virginia will lose more than $77 million in planned construction projects. One project had slated $41 million to replace hazardous materials warehouses in the state.

Of course SenMcSallyAZ down plays a 30 million loss in Arizona. I'm pretty sure the USArmy base at FortHuachuca will miss the $30,000,000

That's okay let America infrastructure fall apart. Too many old Congress running the country and it keeps falling apart every decade

Build that wall! God all mighty I cant wait to vote for Trump again.

Misappropriation of funds enough SpeakerPelosi ? When does nitwit disband Congress you think?

Maybe Virginia senators should have voted to fund the wall.

Hazardous materials? What does Trump care about that? He thinks asbestos is safe

Whaaat

Oh yeah. I’m so tired from all this winning! 🤦‍♀️

Good. Build the wall!

So what your saying is certain states are addicted to federal dollars to the point that they can't normally function? That's a sad statement about their inability to plan and budget.

States are not entitled to military money.

Illegals are a hazardous waste problem.

Say goodbye to jobs!

NPR whines and cry bad orange man!

ICYMI: NPR is blatant propaganda outlet for the Democrats. Competing with CNN and MSNBC shutdownNPR

I can think of a few imperial palaces in northern Virginia you can store that sludge

This is small potatoes compared to the $400 million getting pulled from military engineering projects to rebuild Puerto Rico.

Supreme Court ruled. We want the wall. POTUS is making good in his election promise to build it. Despite all the road blocks, it’s getting done.

Notice that Mr. President did not divert any of the funding from his staff budget or his security detail. If he had to fund his foreign junkets out of pocket that would free up many millions.

Sounds like some lawsuits.

Build the wall!

You can thank the democrats for all of this. If they would fix our immigration laws and help secure the border then the Trump administration would not have to do an end around to get the funds it needs to try and stem the flow of illegal immigration.

A swing state no more.

Just another reason the federal government should stay within the confines of the constitution It’s unconstitutional to give states money but it is constitutional to protect our borders

People would rather be dead than change from red! RacistGOP borderwall MilitaryScrewed

if that fence is a wall, wouldn't take long to breach I'm sure the military loves sacrifices for a useless wall.

TrueFactsStated better with a wall than work/jobs.... what a guy

Trump was correct. So tired of all this “winning”

For a second I thought it said the money was going to be used to replace the House and Senate but it was talking about different hazardous waste warehouses in the actual state of Virginia...my bad. Was almost a real injustice there for a moment...

Fake News, build the wall

So it does not just mean wall vs military, but it affects local economies as well

Maybe we divert some of that money we’re no longer giving to planned parenthood back to the military. It’s not enough but every little bit helps.

Means I won't bother donating any longer since we can dump money down the toilet on a stupid, wasteful wall while cutting taxes for the rich. Don't ask because you won't receive.

Sorry ya'll, you VOTED HIM IN.

If Mexico isn’t paying for the wall, why aren’t we using money meant for Israel instead of taking it from our own military

A2AMOI Yay!

Does not compute

Sounds about right... GOP cares so much for the military 🙄

Way to go AZ Republicans! How much of that money ended up in your pockets?

Unconstitutional. This is a seize at power. Congress holds the power of appropriation, aka, 'the power of the purse', for several reasons (the most important being to rein in a cocky brat who believes himself to be king). This is an impeachable offense.

National security comes first.

Secure the border. Congress could fund it so other funded projects could move forward. The blame goes to Congress, no one else.

Hey Texas John Cornyn voted in favor of this.

TrumpWinning

So much winning.

All the steel for the wall is rebuilding America. Nation News wants to fight Trump too wow the coup continues.

Nothing like robbing Virginia, the USMC, USArmy and USNavy to pay for a wall that realDonaldTrump promised Mexico would pay for.

Virginia friends: if you're truly concerned, then VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Vitally important: how much of the wall has currently been built? How much money has been spent?

We need the wall to protect Alabama though

Mexico 🇲🇽 has a weird way of paying realDonaldTrump

The hazardous materials coming through the southern border are a far worse problem.

How can he do this? 💔

How is the 'emergency' inter-department transfer of funds even legal? The 'emergency' is a fabrication.

Sorry, but we need the wall. Our president campaigned on the issue and he was elected.

With my former provider it would have cost $500–with insurance paying 40%—on top of my $600 monthly premium. Ripoff Docbasia unpacking this... ugh... i get what they are trying to do, save patients money, but i dont agree with this method... what i want to know is why do companies just come up with ways to fix medicine without asking physicians what they think
