+$1.2 billion for modernization of GOCOs & GOGOs
+$500 million for DPA investments in DIB
+$1 billion for other DIB investments

Emphasis on plus, these amounts are in additional to the DoD's base budget request. Don't ask me what those are because they are spread out so I can't easily tabulate them.

The US Air Force is forecasting $46 billion in Foreign Military Sales this year, up 60% from last year's $28.7 billion.
This is being driven in large part due to F-35 & F-16 sales, and associated munitions like AMRAAM.

Air Force sees spike in overseas weapon sales
The service expects its annual foreign military sales to grow by 60% this fiscal year due largely to increases in F-35 and F-16 purchases.

RT @Kasparov63: It's a wonderful day when friends and allies are released from Putin's gulag and able to see their families again. But do not forget that exchanging regime murderers & spies for innocent hostages & political prisoners promotes Russia's production of both. 1/6

RT @ThrustWR: Btw this is still $1B below what they requested for NGAD in FY24. https://twitter.com/ColbyBadhwar/status/1819046249460343207#m

The FY24 request for F/A-XX was $1.5 billion, and they planned to ask for $2.2b in FY25. Come the FY25 submission in March though, they cut that to 0 to prioritize current programs & operations, due to the FRA caps. So they would now get $500 million, if this passes.

RT @zach_ota: I was lucky to speak recently with @WDMills1992 on the merits of joint cooperation in the Indo-Pacific on the Marine Pulse podcast @WarOnTheRocks.
SgtMaj Ruiz and @ian_tb03 are a tough act to follow, though!

@kittydukebear @PpollingNumbers: Harris is more likely to win Pennslyvania than she is to win Arizona, Wisconsin, or Georgia. With someone like Kelly, she would be more likely to win Arizona, flipping the state, and at the same time, she would be likely to win Pennsylvania without Shaipro, getting her to +270.
