The 58 billion in requested defense funds has a section in one of the slush funds that is set aside for the wall.

not from my understanding. There is a 10% increase of 54billion that's in the budget, then he's going to ask for another 30bn for the contingency fund to replenish it from being drawn down on by the war(s). That's in addition to the base increase, that's my understanding today at least.

Having been involved in a boondoggle, runaway military construction project before, I can say that they'll have to triple the budget and double the projected construction time.

Actual news: There's an Amazon AWS outage, so if you're noticing the internet being broken today, that's most likely why. Think of it as similar to the Dyn server issues several months ago. Amazon hasn't reported what the cause is as of yet. Seems to just be an east coast thing.

But what's the context? I mean, is it last-minute polishing or "Holy poo poo, section 5 is still listed as [INSERT ACA REPLACEMENT HERE], pass the oxygen!"

One is very much the norm. The other....would be odd.
