Congress has tried repeatedly to slap guardrails on the administration, voting more than 10 times on various war powers resolutions that would halt hostilities. But those efforts have not succeeded, and most Republicans in the House and Senate majorities back Trump. I’m old enough to remember when everyone agreed you needed 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate. Curious how the Iran bomb money and the Israel genocide money always keeps getting through. Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the defense package a good bill and implored his colleagues to provide the resources to ensure the U.S. is kept safe. The United States has spent over $14 trillion on cumulative defense and national security since 2002. Curiously, we still aren’t any safer than we were the day before the 9/11 attacks.
