House Passes Defense Funding, War Blueprint Amid Deep Divisions

The measures, largely passed along party lines, include significant funding for the U.S.-Iran conflict and President Trump's election overhaul bill. Democrats express strong opposition to the funding levels and the use of reconciliation to bypass bipartisan support.

Democrat Corner · DEM

Invest Home Not War

Opposing Unpaid War Spending and Protecting Domestic Programs

Fiscal Irresponsibility

The $1.15 trillion discretionary spending in the NDAA and the budget blueprint's lack of offsets would necessitate massive cuts to vital domestic programs.

Unpopular War

The Iran war is costly, escalating, and unpopular, with rising American casualties and negative economic impacts like higher gas prices for citizens.

Partisan Overreach

Using reconciliation to bypass the Senate's 60-vote threshold undermines bipartisan governance and forces through controversial, party-line measures.
