I'M DEMANDING ANSWERS: Hegseth Wants Congress to Write a Blank Check to Fund Trump's Iran War

At a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on President Trump’s supplemental funding request for the Iran war, more Pentagon funding, and other requests—U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, grilled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on the disastrous and costly failure that is the Iran war and why the president is seeking more funding to keep it going—particularly as the Pentagon sits on unspent funds—instead of working with Congress to help families with skyrocketing costs. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Stay informed.
