House Passes Record $1.15T Defense Bill

The House passed the National Defense Authorization Act, a $1.15 trillion bill that funds the ongoing military campaign against Iran, marking the largest defense budget in U.S. history.

The vote was contentious, with critics arguing that President Trumpโ€™s decision to attack Iran without congressional approval made the bill even more controversial.

The legislation includes provisions for expanded munitions production and restrictions on Chinese-made humanoid robots.

It now heads to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain amid bipartisan concerns over the warโ€™s escalation and cost.
