The United States has real threats here at home – we should be reducing defense spending and redirecting and reinvesting it to fight COVID-19, climate change, and help strengthen our cyber security systems. This bloated budget is already significantly more than what the President requested, and I will not stand for it. Increasing the Pentagon's budget to help pay for the second homes of defense contractors is not the way to solve America's most pressing security threats." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |
