🚨🇺🇸 Senate Democrats just blocked the $1.15 trillion defense bill, stalling the legislative vehicle for the U.S.-Israel military integration push. -The motion to proceed failed 50-46, well short of the 60 needed, with votes on strict party lines, and Thune flipping to "no" procedurally to preserve a revote -The NDAA process is where the integration fight lives: Massie is fighting the House version's Section 219, which he says would begin "co-mingling our military supply chains and technology with Israel's" -The broader push tracks the $38 billion aid agreement's wind-down toward 2028, replacing grants with deep defense-industrial fusion, which both governments have endorsed -Democrats framed the block around the war: Schumer said Republicans want the NDAA passed "as though none of this is happening," and Murphy called it flatly "an authorization for the Iran war, a war that nobody in this country wants" -The $1.1 trillion package includes a 3.6% troop pay raise and military family investments, now hostage to the deadlock Writer: Daniel

I often criticized Lindsey Graham. But this weekend, I learned his full story: - Orphaned young, he adopted & raised his little sister instead of letting her go into the system. - Grew up dirt poor, racking balls in his parents’ pool hall. - In search of opportunity, he joined the Air Force. Served 33 years. Retired a Colonel. - Then spent decades in Congress, earning respect across the aisle. - Bashed Trump hard in ~2016, then respected the will of the voters, and grew to become a loyal ally. - Humble. Devoted to his constituents. - Driven by patriotism (even when misguided). Never in it for the money. Could've cashed in any time like most of his colleagues. - That Disney trip everyone mocked? Just a good uncle taking his beloved nieces. He smiled through (and ignored) the hate to protect his family. RIP to a self-made American original.
