NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx says he'll respond today to domestic violence allegations - video/audio where he describes slamming his wife into a door and throwing his toddler across a room. Voters/reporters new to Marx may not realize he has a long history of justifying violence.

In two years we've gone from a standard where the President's budget proposal was a set of suggestions Congress would ignore to where Congressional appropriations are now a set of suggestions the President ignores.

A few reasons I wouldn't acknowledge Trump's request if I were FR or DE - With winter on the doorstep, they're going to need that stockpile - Given Trump's posture toward NATO, and with Russia actively saber-wrattling near the Baltics, that stockpile is now a security concern.
