I was so happy when I heard this news about the donation, until I was informed that this violates the anti deficiency law. Nothing to do with Democrats. This donation is not something that has to be approved by, or voted on by members of Congress.
Democrats can approve, disapprove or do nothing about this, and the money will still not be used for paychecks for military members. It’s just the law.

Whoever came up with this law is dumb.
