The Spin


Pro-establishment narrative

This bipartisan bill strengthens the military and addresses the dangers of white supremacy and other forms of extremism in the police and armed forces. While allowing the Pentagon to conduct necessary operations like aiding Ukraine, it also manages to limit presidential power regarding military operations, which has long been overdue.


Establishment-critical narrative

The US government continues to pass unnecessary military spending bills with bipartisan support. If the Pentagon were a private corporation, gross mismanagement would have forced it into bankruptcy years ago. The American people deserve to have their money spent on them, not frivolous military adventures.
