US President Donald Trump signed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law Thursday, completing the passage of the largest military spending bill in US history—$901 billion, or over $1 trillion when combined with supplemental funding passed earlier this year.
The Senate voted 77-20 on Wednesday to pass the bill. The Democratic leadership, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Minority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, voted for the bill. They were joined by Senators Mark Kelly of Arizona and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, both of whom released a video last month calling on military personnel to disobey illegal orders—as Trump was sending the US military on a murder spree off the coast of Latin America.

I’m 38, I’m not a kid.
But I do have a fever right now.
Hey me too! And I remember caring deeply about Palestine when I was 18! Then I learned more about the conflict and watched for 20 years. Now I have nuance hbu?
There’s nuance in every conflict, nobody sane goes on the attack without reason. That’s what I believe.
True, multipurpose.
