Dear Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy: As you look for ways to cut government spending, let’s address the elephant in the room: the Pentagon. The Pentagon’s $1 trillion budget is a cash cow for Congress and defense contractors. Corruption, campaign donations, and forced purchases of unnecessary weapons keep this waste alive. Want real efficiency? Cut the Pentagon and invest in peace.

Congress should be helping Americans at home, not spending a trillion dollars on bombs & blank checks to defense contractors. That’s why I will not support this National Defense Authorization Act. It’s time we start feeding the People, not the Pentagon.

Reporter: The White House is seeking roughly $1.5 trillion more for the Pentagon as part of the 2027 fiscal budget request. This would be the highest boost to military spending in modern history. The budget proposal would include a $73 billion cut that would fall primarily on housing, social services, health care, and other domestic programs.

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “Some of our allies have gotten the message and stepped up... Last year, under President Trump’s leadership, NATO set a new global standard for defense spending—5% of GDP all in on defense—it’s historic and it's transformational... As you’ve seen over the last six months, President Trump is also committed to the U.S. defense spending—more than one trillion dollars in 2026 and a commitment of 1.5 trillion in 2027.”

Trump wants the Pentagon budget increased by 50% for next year. That’s $1.5 trillion. We just found out this week that the Pentagon wasted $93 BILLION IN ONE MONTH on things like shellfish, parties and a piano, and you think we’re going to give them more money to waste? Barrels of NO.
