IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.

This is missing the point. The military is apparently being paid regardless of normal process and who authorizes it and whether that’s being withheld due to the government shutdown. Trump has managed to get them paid through private donations. They’re now paid off book. Beholden only to Trump.
