U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

I've NEVER traded individual stocks throughout my time in public office.
I signed the discharge petition to ban Congressional stock trading because public service isn't about profit. It's about trust. Speaker Johnson should bring this bill to the floor, and Donald Trump should sign it into law.

Step right up! Spin The Wheel for today's excuse for illegal action!
By saying the campaign is “about a lot of things” — drugs, oil, migrants, mental institutions — Trump effectively admits there is no unified legal basis. Under both U.S. and international law, use of force must rest on a specific, articulable justification. #holdfast #steadystate
DOOCY: Is the campaign against Venezuela still just about drugs, or it also now about oil?
TRUMP: Well, it's about a lot of things. But one of things it's about is the fact they've allowed millions of people to come into our country from their prisons
