Show Notes
The White House unveils a massive $1.5 trillion defense budget, marking a significant increase in military spending while cutting back on domestic programs. This comes amidst ongoing conflicts, with Trump prioritizing military modernization. However, Congress holds the power to approve or adjust the budget, which has been consistently running deficits and has a debt of over $39 trillion. Meanwhile, Congress is still grappling with the 2026 spending bill, particularly for DHS immigration operations, despite a recent executive order to compensate furloughed workers. Last years attempts to cut non-defense spending were largely overridden by Congress, setting the stage for another budget battle.
