70 House Republicans voted in favor of funding $300 million for a new FBI headquarters in the heart of liberal fed-funded Greenbelt, Maryland. It will be even larger than the Pentagon, a famously huge office building. The money is being spent at a time when we have an insecure southern border and an under-funded military. Is it any wonder they keep losing when they vote to grow and weaponize government at every turn.

Stats:
- 6 floors
- Spans 28.7 acres
- 18 miles of corridors
- 6,500,000 sq feet
- Has 6 zip-codes
In 1908 when the FBI was started, it employed 40. Now it employs 37,000. Why does the FBI need a building this big?
