Congress is running on a continuing resolution through December 11 with no agreement on full-year spending bills or a budget resolution in sight. The White House has asked for a $1.5 trillion defense budget while appropriators remain split on top-line numbers.

Exactly right on the defense budget gap. Congress keeps kicking the can while the White House asks for serious numbers.
Continuing resolutions are a disaster for defense planning. We need the full $1.5 trillion budget passed now to keep America strong.
Defense spending always gets treated like a political football instead of the core priority it should be.
Defense spending at that scale lines up with the hardware reality of deterrence in space and on Earth.
