By cutting Pentagon spending by $100B, the People Over Pentagon Act would return military spending to pre-Trump levels. jacobin.com/2022/06/defense-โ€ฆ

The dots mark every single battle known to historians over the past 4000 years & Europe's been pretty busy. This is where the ยซSฤซ vฤซs pฤcem, parฤ bellumยป mindset led us. The era of defiance, fear, and arrogance must end. If we want #peace, we must PREPARE THE PEACE. #NewEra

And your thoughts on the money sent to Ukraine?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Why do we need to be spending two-thirds of a trillion dollars on defense? Let's cut defense spending to around a half-trillion, quit over feeding the bloated military industrial complex and use the couple hundred billion savings for helping people navigate the current economy?

Itโ€™s pure hypocrisy at this point - vote for billions in weapons to Ukraine and then introduce this bill thatโ€™s sure to fail.
Replying to @marwilliamson
This is an issue that is hard to parse. Running a multi branch military and caring for all of its personnel is an expensive proposal. Certainly there is corruption in this budget, but it also serves the needs of some of our most extraordinary Americans and their families.
