U.S. lawmakers on Sunday unveiled an annual defense policy bill authorizing a record $901 billion in national security spending next year, billions more than President Donald Trump's request, and provides $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine.

The sweeping 3,000-page bill includes a 4% raise for enlisted troops but excludes a bipartisan effort to spur housing construction that some lawmakers had hoped to include in the final bill.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, said in a statement that the legislation would advance Trump's agenda by "ending woke ideology at the Pentagon, securing the border, revitalizing the defense industrial base, and restoring the warrior ethos."

Earlier this year, Republicans defeated Democrat efforts to block the deployment of the military to American cities and to bar the conversion of a luxury jet given by Qatar to serve as Air Force One. 

That's TRUMP getting it done. Oh, and it's another **** record‑shattering event. Seems to happen a lot.

this year’s NDAA isn’t just “big,” it’s record‑shattering. The Pentagon budget has officially crossed into the $900 billion era, which is a meme‑worthy milestone in itself.
