The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

@whitehouse.senate.gov please look at the camera now and then during your remote interviews. Maybe you're looking at Lawrence on screen, but you'd be even more engaging if you'd pretend to look at your audience. Lift your screen?
Thank you for your attention to this matter (sorry, couldn't resist).
