Democracy in action. www.stephensemler.com/p/congress-i...
Only 1 in 10 voters want a bigger military budget, but 7 in 10 House members just voted for one. House votes on the $901 billion NDAA clash with public opinion. Support for increasing military spending among Democratic voters: 3%. House Democrats: 55%. Republican voters: 16%. House Republicans: 92%. Voters (all): 10%. House (all): 74%. Polling data on public support for increasing military spending: Eurasia Group (Nov 2025). Votes: 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (Dec 2025). Chart by Stephen Semler.

As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.
NDAA passes the House, 312 to 112. Republicans: 197 yea, 18 nay; Democrats: 115 yea, 94 nay

The US could've forced Israel to accept a ceasefire two years ago. Instead, it spent $38 billion enabling Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and fighting a regional war on Israel's behalf. www.stephensemler.com/p/us-has-spe...
The US has spent at least $38 billion on Israel since October 2023. The single column chart shows $38.2 billion in US military spending on Israel from October 2023 through September 2025, including: $18 billion arming Israel, $6.1 billion defending Israel, $14.1 billion waging war on Israel’s behalf. Data: Pentagon financial records, enacted legislation, media reports, author analysis. Figures are conservative estimates in constant 2025 US dollars.

I keep seeing this narrative that "not even Democratic voters want to Abolish ICE". This is just simply wrong, as numerous ignored polls have shown it to have clear Democratic support since 2018. I wrote about those polls here.

Yes, Democrats Have Wanted to "Abolish ICE" Since 2018
The “Abolish ICE” discourse is back in the news as the Trump administration strengthened the agency that’s currently ripping families and communities apart.

Live reporting from Al Jazeera. This is sounding grim.

'Eyes were burning' after white substance dropped on Madleen
Here's more from Huwaida Arraf, the co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement, which is sup- porting the Gaza Freedom Flotilla.
"Just moments ago, communication seemed to be cut," Arraf told Al Jazeera from Sicily.
"So, we have lost all contact with our colleagues on the Madleen."
"Before that, we know that they had two drones hovering above them that dropped some kind of chemical on the vessel. We don't know what that chem- ical was," she said.
"Some people reported that their eyes were burning. Before that, they were also approached by vessels in a very threatening manner."

It's so obvious the military drone sightings happened to distract from Luigi Mangione. Look at these search trends and how well they match up. The drone searches start right after Luigi and ends just as Luigi's interest ends. It's just so obvious.

As U.S. troops left Iraq, their combat gear went to police. This graph compares the number of U.S. troops deployed to Iraq and the value of Pentagon property acquired by police through the 1033 program. As troop levels fell, the value of matériel transferred to police increased. Data: DLA, LESO, CRS.
