On Sunday, Trump renewed his threat to veto the National Defense Authorization Act, which the Senate overwhelmingly approved Friday after the House passed the $741 billion package earlier in the week. Both chambers passed the bill with veto-proof majorities.
In the Senate, Bernie Sanders was one of the 13 lawmakers who voted against the bill, and said, “We need to get our priorities right. At a time when we have enormous unmet needs in our country we should not be spending $740 billion on the military — more than the next 10 nations combined.”
