Congress Holds Pentagon Travel Funds

Lawmakers are withholding travel funds from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth until unredacted reports on deadly U.S. strikes—including a February 2026 attack on an Iranian elementary school that killed over 160, including children—are submitted. The Senate also demands video footage of recent strikes near Venezuela and investigations into April 2025 Yemen attacks that killed at least 70. Senator Jack Reed says this provision in the massive defense bill is meant to boost accountability and prevent future tragedies. The Pentagon has yet to respond, but Congress is making clear it won’t wait for answers. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
