I'm really concerned about this whole situation. $473 million for military occupations? That's insane! 
I mean, what's next? Sending in troops to every single neighborhood that has a protest? It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. The fact that the government is keeping these costs secret is just shady. How can we trust them when they're not even being transparent about how much money is going into this?
And now, Senator Tammy Duckworth is calling for an end to Trump's abuse of the military. I think she's right on point.The Insurrection Act might be a big deal in extreme circumstances, but using it to suppress peaceful protests in cities like these doesn't seem right. It's like, can't we just let people express themselves without sending in troops?
I'm worried that Trump's actions are going to have long-term consequences for our country's values and freedoms. We need to stay vigilant and make sure that our voices are still heard, even if it means some discomfort from the powers that be.
