The U.S. war in Iran has ballooned to $37.5 billion, up nearly $8 billion since last reported, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces Senate scrutiny over rising costs, undisclosed casualties, and his controversial push for testosterone supplements for troops. Lawmakers debate a $95 billion Republican budget to fund the military, aid farmers, and overhaul voting laws — a plan likely to pass via reconciliation despite Democratic opposition. With gas prices climbing, ammunition running low, and public disapproval of Trump’s strategy mounting, the conflict shows no signs of ending — even as GOP leaders stay silent on the battlefield’s toll. Senators threaten to withhold Hegseth’s travel funds until he releases a Pentagon report on a deadly early attack, as nearly 450 troops have been injured.
