House passes $1.15 trillion defense bill, tees up Iran war funds
The House passed its $1.15 trillion defense policy bill and advanced a measure to help cover the rising costs of the Iran war — with Republicans steamrolling Democrats. Both measures face a difficult path to becoming law, however.
jim-selover.bsky.social6Remember when Republicans were totally outraged the Biden admin raised the debt by a trillion over 3 years? And now they are trying to do that in one afternoon. /s
Emily2Stop calling it a "defense bill." When was the last time our military was used for defense? Iran was never a threat to the US. Iraq was never a threat to the US. Even Afghanistan was 99.999% innocent of 9/11 - it was SAUDIS who pulled off the WTC job. And he just handed Saudi Arabia nukes.
The DILETTANTE1No money for homeless, education, health but endless money to kill people and make enemies. Truly the dumbest country on earth. No wonder everyone fucking hates you.

Rune Andre Bergtun12Shameful, and it also shows that Hakeem Jeffries is not the leader he should be. Pelosi had more control as speaker.

T-Fish🇨🇦🍁4And this government can’t even create a health care plan, help with homelessness, make things affordable and take care of their own people’s welfare. But they can start wars all over the world cuz their leader is weak and easily led.
Abu Aardvark3I also have trouble making it on my $1 trillion budget
reginaldedward32The trillion dollar NDAA bill also merges the Israeli IDF and the US military. People don't even understand just how problematic this is.
