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…
I am brown. I cannot be racist according to your Twitter rules.
Well, I don’t support your convenient rationalization (MY Twitter rules? WTF? I’ve never used Twitter in my life), but even if it were true, it would still mean that you are a traitor, corrupt, pedophile, misogynist, ignorant, and incompetent. So, not much of an improvement, and BTW, nobody is buying the story that you aren’t racist, either.
Only a MAGA would pick out one thing out of a list of vile characterizations, and think that was a withering defense, LOL.
Only white people can be any of that. Us racial minorities are protected from it.
That statement alone is racist. You’re like most MAGAs - you aren’t intellectually capable of recognizing your own racism. At least a few realize it, although usually because they’re proud of it.
I am not racist, I am just xenophobic
🧐🦅🦅🍔🍔🔫🔫
Same thing.
Not knowing the difference between both shows that you are not as well informed as you say you are.
I know the technical difference between he two definitions, and it is minimal. Xenophobes are just racists with an extra step. Hardly a justifiable rationalization.
I hate all colors equally. It depends where they come from.
Full xenophobic, no racist. Like a true descendant of Rome.
