Jayapal Statement on NDAA: A budget is first and foremost a declaration of our priorities. Trump and Republicans’ priority is pursuing a deadly, destructive, and illegal war in Iran and paying out their defense contractor donors. That could not be clearer from this year’s NDAA — which I voted HELL NO on. The American people are being crushed under the weight of inflation, as Trump’s unconstitutional war raises gas prices. And a small fraction of the money Republicans have put in this bill could restore the Medicaid cuts that pushed millions off their healthcare, pay for universal pre-k, any number of things that would actually ease the cost of living crisis that Americans are facing. Time and again we are seeing from this administration, and their Republican yes-men in Congress, that they simply do not care that working people are struggling. I refuse to support that agenda and will continue working to stop this funding and actually invest in our people and our communities.
