With 2.87 million military personnel, including citizen employees, it amounts to about $45 a head.
Breaking News: The U.S. military accepted a private donation of $130 million to help pay troops during the shutdown. The move is highly unusual and a potential violation of federal law.
Trump to Use $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops

Me: “I don’t get when people say pizza pie. A pizza is a pizza, a pie is a pie, a dessert.”

She: “So what happens when the moon hits your eye, you know, like a big pizza pie? What then?”

Me: “I’ve looked into this, and I have it on pretty good authority, that would be amore.”
For the gold standard in credible journalism, I look no further than “Big Tennessee”.

“What’s actually at issue is Donald Trump’s embrace of autocratic power. Monarchy is one flavor of that power, but it’s not really the one that Trump’s targeting. … It’s not that he gained power as an autocrat, it’s that he’s aggregating and deploying it as one.”

Ocean drugs explains Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea”.
Trump: "The ocean drugs and the sea drugs, drugs by sea they call it also, that's almost down to nothing."
Weird thing: I rolled over and looked at my watch, saw it was almost 7. So I jumped up, slammed my morning meds, boiled some beverage water and then it was only 5 a.m.

How utterly absurd and vacuous you have to be to equate a president tearing down the East Wing of the WH without notice to anyone or input from anyone with randos vandalizing property during protests.
Out: watch dogs.
In: lap dogs.

The president is establishing the principle that he can order the murder of anyone he deems a threat.
And Congress is letting it happen.

What we have here, in addition to Trump's gaudy, vacuous bric-a-brac he has glued to wall in the Cabinet Room, is our monumentally incompetent SecDef telling the most unhinged president in history about an attack on another civilian small boat, this time in the Pacific.
