What’s inside? A brand-new FBI building, the reauthorization of warrantless surveillance on Americans, and $60 billion more for Ukraine—more than we spend on the U.S. Marines.Fiscal responsibility? Constitutional limits? Apparently those were asleep too.This all happened quietly, overnight—while you were sleeping.
