While Ukraine aid runs dry, Trump asks for record-breaking $1.5 trillion in military spending

The proposed budget calls for a $445 billion (44%) increase in defense funds in 2027 — as U.S. military aid to Ukraine has dropped by 99% under Trump's watch.

Proud of today’s free #WallarooApp wallpaper release - Artemis. @chockenberry suggested it at about 9pm last night and @piraino and I teamed up to create it this morning.

The NASA mission is really inspiring and I think we could all use some of that right about now so we all hope you enjoy it. Free to download from Patreon or better yet set and use with a single tap in Wallaroo.

Have fun everyone! 🌓
