Just saw that Rhode Island Rep Seth Magaziner got five amendments passed in the Defense Appropriations bill. Pretty interesting stuff actually - looks like he pushed for funding in marine research and defense tech, which makes sense for his district. The breakdown includes $10 million for sonar systems and $7.8 million for anti-submarine training, plus some carbon dioxide removal research funding. He's basically positioning Rhode Island as a defense innovation hub. On a side note, if you're curious about his finances, Quiver Quantitative had his net worth at around $648.8K back in mid-2025, which ranked him 330th in Congress. Not exactly rolling in it compared to some of these other politicians. His Q2 fundraising disclosure showed $136.6K raised with about half coming from individual donors. Kind of a modest haul compared to the top fundraisers. Anyway, the whole thing seems like solid constituent work - bringing defense dollars home while also pushing for environmental tech. Wonder if this sets a template for how other reps are approaching defense spending these days.
