Just a friendly reminder that Congress approves weapons sales, they have control of the money.

Don't just let Congress off the hook just because Biden is saying okay after they approve shit.

As of May 7th some deliveries of large bombs and material were being delayed by the administration after a request from ~50 members of the House. On May 16th the House approved H.R. 8369 by a vote of 224-187, to stop that delay, pending approval by the Senate and POTUS, or Senate approval, POTUS veto and an override.
