The House passed a $1T Pentagon bill right before vacation
Before packing their bags for recess, lawmakers rushed through a massive Pentagon package that sets up a huge budget shortcut.
Congress had one main mission right before rushing out the door for recess: secure funding for the military. Republicans pulled it off, approving over $1 trillion for the Pentagon.
The measure sets up procedural shortcuts to bypass Democrats and unlock money for military operations involving Iran as well as Trump's election overhaul plans.
Nothing says happy vacation quite like dropping a trillion dollars on the desk and skipping town.
