    Perhaps they need to prove with a third-party non-partisan audit that is what happened and audit could also provide funding review.

    Maybe we apply pay-as-you-go specifically on this: if Duffy-the-reality-TV-star is asking for money all of a sudden, maybe anything granted has to come out of ICE?

    Honestly, any of donnie’s vanity projects should have the same rules. Also - no private donations from oligarchs for things like vanity projects…

      Well, that sounds good, but there’s a bigger problem.

      So a company that donated to Duffy’s son’s in law (Michael Alfonso) political campaign received nearly 1 billion dollars contract to build this system.

      They get that money to produce AI slop that failed spectacularly.

      Instead of asking why they didn’t deliver and why 1 billion dollars was not enough, they are now talking that they need 50 billion dollarsand blame the old system that didn’t cause these outages.

      If they failed this, they definitively will fail the bigger change. We shouldn’t discuss about them getting a bigger contract we should be talking about paying it back, because they didn’t deliver and investigate anyone responsible for granting contact for this scam.

      Donations, sure… But they have to go straight into the general fund, and Congress decides how that money will be spent.

      A star you say? I’ve never seen him. Must be one of those dim stars.
