Welcome to the worst Pentagon budget process we’ve EVER SEEN. Late budget docs, conflicting drafts, bad comparisons, & an abusive reconciliation bill to boot. It's not a budget process, it’s a budget trainwreck—& it’s bad for taxpayers & national security. taxpayer.net/national-secur…

‼️TODAY IN D.C. Ploughshares President Emma Belcher moderated a press conference for the launch of Up In Arms with Ben Cohen. The 💵money brick💵 represents the $$$ spent by the U.S. government on the nuclear arsenal—half of which is to develop nuclear weapons.

The Government Accountability Office investigates executive abuses. So why is Congress proposing a 49% cut to its budget—while giving itself a raise? Taxpayers deserve better than a legislature that muzzles its own watchdogs. taxpayer.net/budget-appropr…

Golden Dome is “still in the conceptual stage,” according to Air Force Secretary Meink, but the budget reconciliation bill includes $25 billion for it. Strategy should dictate funding, not the other way around. One of many reasons lawmakers should vote no. taxpayer.net/national-secur…

The reconciliation bill includes $150,000,000,000 in handouts for Pentagon contractors 👎$25B for the Golden Dome, which won’t work 👎$3B for land-based nuclear weapons, which we don’t need 👎$1.15B to develop next-generation fighters, which could cost 3 times as much as the F-35

Enough is Enough. This July 4th, Americans should demand meaningful solutions to our nation’s debt crisis. Passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is one big step backward. taxpayer.net/budget-appropr…

Servicemembers should have the tools & data they need to repair their own equipment, TCS analyst Gabe Murphy writes in @StarsandStripes. Thanks to Elizabeth Warren & Tim Sheehy for leading the charge on this critical effort. stripes.com/opinion/2025-0…

NEW: Elizabeth Warren & Tim Sheehy just introduced the Warrior Right-to-Repair Act to ensure servicemembers have the tools & data they need to repair their own equipment. The bill will save billions while strengthening national security. Count us in! warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

Today, Elizabeth Warren & Tim Sheehy introduced the Warrior Right-to-Repair Act. The bill would protect servicemembers, support military readiness, & save taxpayers billions. Let's get this done. stripes.com/opinion/2025-0…

Right now, members of the military are being stopped from fixing some of their OWN equipment. Why? Their contracts say that only CONTRACTORS can make repairs, threatening our security and allowing them to overcharge us by billions. Senator Sheehy Press Office and I have a bill to fix this.

Want to know more about #RightToRepair and why it matters? You’re in luck! POGO’s @veritas_dhg talked to Taxpayers for Common Sense' podcast about #r2r. Tune in: taxpayer.net/national-secur…

Good news! Elizabeth Warren & Tim Sheehy just introduced the Warrior Right-to-Repair Act. In the latest Budget Watchdog AF episode, Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette of Project On Government Oversight joined us to discuss how this will protect the troops, bolster national security, & save billions. taxpayer.net/national-secur…

The Pentagon just bought $400 million of stock in a private mining company. TCS president Stephen Ellis spoke w/ the @WashingtonPost about the taxpayer risks, underscoring that it's "a highly unusual if not unprecedented move for the Pentagon." washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…

The Pentagon’s unfunded priority lists (UPLs) ballooned by 73% over last year to >$53,000,000,000. With the national security request already up 12 percent, this is getting out of hand. Congress should end the requirement for these unbudgeted wish lists taxpayer.net/national-secur…

The HASC-passed NDAA has a lot of problems, but it also includes two key wins for taxpayers: ✅ Right to Repair: Contractors must share tools/data so servicemembers can fix their own gear ✅ Nunn-McCurdy Reform: Expands oversight of Pentagon programs facing major cost overruns

In May I outlined the 5 worst provisions in Sen. Wicker's acquisition reform bill. It appears every single one made it into the SASC NDAA. stimson.org/2025/acquisiti…

The current House & Senate drafts of the NDAA advance a shared vision for Pentagon spending—one that ignores fiscal realities, shuns strategic prioritization, & erodes contractor accountability. Still, we helped secure two roses amidst a bouquet of thorns taxpayer.net/national-secur…

Congress just gave the Pentagon a $156 billion boost w/out a clear spending plan. It’s a “shoot first, ask questions later” approach to national security spending on an unprecedented scale—& it’s bad for taxpayers & national defense. My take in Defense One defenseone.com/ideas/2025/07/…

W/ Speaker Mike Johnson floating more reconciliation bills this year, partisan Pentagon spending w/ a "fund first, ask questions later" approach could become the norm. TCS's own Gabe Murphy explains the taxpayer & national security risks in Defense One defenseone.com/ideas/2025/07/…
