House Republicans are racing to pass a $95 billion spending package—fueled by Trump-backed priorities—to fund military operations in Iran and other GOP initiatives, while dodging Democratic objections over domestic needs like cost-of-living relief. The bill, which includes $60 billion for the Pentagon, $13 billion for national security, $12 billion for farmers hurt by tariffs, and $10 billion for restrictive voting laws, is sparking internal GOP rifts over lack of offsetting cuts. With 18 U.S. military deaths in the Middle East and Pentagon funding shortages, the move comes as Democrats blast Republicans for diverting resources. Speaker Mike Johnson is leveraging budget reconciliation—a simple majority vote—to push the bill, echoing past GOP tax and spending wins. Senate Republicans are divided, with Majority Leader John Thune prioritizing avoiding a government shutdown and wary of the voting law provisions, which lack GOP support and could disenfranchise voters. Thune may use the House’s budget resolution later this fall if needed, but hopes to avoid a showdown. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
