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.

Citing Trump’s statements about using troops to shoot protesters in America, Slotkin invoked the legacy of the Nuremberg tribunals, which convicted Nazi leaders for war crimes and crimes against peace. But when it came time to vote, this invocation was revealed to be completely meaningless. Slotkin voted to hand Trump the resources to pursue his military adventure against Venezuela…

      Don’t remember that I used this source, must be long time ago.

      But even so, that’s everything you complain? Is there nothing more?

      Would also be curious to learn what sources you deem reliable.

        It’s not the reliability of the sources. It’s the obsession. Even the website you complain about have non Chinese content. But you are 100% constant anti China posts.

        China does a lot of bad stuff. Every country does. But why do you obsess with them so much?

        I would really like to know. Because with no explanation it either looks like you’re being paid by an enemy of China like the US or that something bad happened to you and you need to seek help because you got some deep trauma.

        I don’t think Lemmy is big enough for the US to pay someone to do propaganda. So it looks really odd.

          What an absurdly weird comment. I just tried to engage in some discussion, but this doesn’t appear to lead anywhere.

            And the post here is factually reporting dems voting to increase the military budget.

            Yet you’re critical of the reporting site here but okay when it’s one your posting.

            Do you see the hypocrisy???

            I don’t comment on your accusation.

            Which is what happens every time it’s brought up so 🤷
