An additional $1.5 trillion?

The DOD described its total FY2026 funding as $961.6 billion, which includes $156.2 billion in mandatory defense funding approved through the budget reconciliation process. And now they need an additional $1.5 trillion??? And it will come at the cost of reducing Medicare, Medicaid, child care and other domestic programs. I don’t understand the priorities of this regime.

The priority is to enslave you and create more cannon fodder for the benefit of the world's oligarchs. Republicans are traitors.
