Congress to withhold Pentagon travel funds until it sees boat strike videos

[Guno צְבִי]

Congress is using its marquee defense bill to force the Pentagon into turning over videos of strikes against suspected drug-smuggling boats off the coast of Latin America.

Lawmakers plan to withhold a quarter of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget until the Pentagon provides them with the videos. The demand, quietly tucked into the final draft of the annual defense policy bill, calls for “unedited video of strikes conducted against designated terrorist organizations in the area of responsibility of the United States Southern Command” to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.

I'm all for transparency. sure, the shit stains will cry and lie that we are whipping people on horseback and so on. it is what they do

The Pentagon has a long history of moving money around at will.....spending it on what they want......ignoring the instructions from Congress.

This seems like performance.

@FastLane believes in transparency and he believes that the Trump Administration is.

This is performative.

Gasp! Did @FastLane just admit that it's performative by the Trump's Administration?

Guno is lying again.


Some Democrats in Congress are attempting to make this happen, but the Rest of Congress is not on board with the plan.


If Guno posted it, it is a lie.
