Senate to Approve Bill Boosting Defense and Law Enforcement Funding

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham announced plans to push a second reconciliation bill this year, aiming to boost funds for defense and federal law enforcement. The bill will support the military and keep America safe, with the amount of money allocated to defense still to be determined. The effort has the support of President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune. According to Breaking Defense, the bill may include funding for ongoing operations in Iran, which could potentially run about $200 billion. The Defense Department has already spent $150 billion on the Pentagon in the 2025 reconciliation effort, with plans to spend all of that money in FY26.
