The House just passed a $1.15 trillion defense bill — a massive, deeply partisan package that’s reshaping military spending, sparking outrage over everything from pay raises to renaming the Pentagon and controversial voter restrictions. While Republicans frame it as essential rebuilding after years of underfunding, Democrats are furious, calling it a betrayal of national defense’s core mission. The bill’s passage was marred by fierce debate, including a major Senate holdover over the President’s unilaterally approved military action in Iran, and amendments that quietly advanced extreme right-wing priorities — from transgender athlete bans to restrictive voting measures. Even as the bill moves to the Senate, it’s a stark symbol of how deeply divided Congress has become, turning defense — once bipartisan — into a battleground for political extremes.
