Almost Every Democrat Votes Against Bill Funding Veterans
No one is surprised, right?
House narrowly passes military construction, veterans funding bill
The House cleared its military construction and veterans spending bill Wednesday, almost entirely along party lines — the first annual government funding measure to be approved in a contentious budget season.
What happened: Republicans muscled through the spending bill in an 218-206 vote. Nearly all Democrats opposed the bill, with only two breaking ranks to help pass it.
Partisan divide: Democrats are at odds with President Donald Trump’s budget proposal, which seeks deep cuts in domestic spending while keeping defense spending at the same level as this year — while using Republicans’ megabill to layer on an extra $150 billion for the Pentagon.
Democrats have criticized Republicans for moving ahead with the military construction bill — which deals with the sliver of the Pentagon budget that includes the armed services’ infrastructure projects — before the administration has sent Congress a full defense budget proposal.
You know, the thing that is specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Defense? And taking care of veterans? Why wouldn’t they want that?
They’ve also slammed policy provisions in the bill that limit funding to cover abortions and gender-affirming care at the Veterans Affairs Department.
These f’ing people.
This morning, I spoke on the House floor in strong support of the FY26 MilCon-VA Appropriations Act—a significant investment in our veterans, military families, and national security.
The bill:
• Fully funds veterans’ medical care—$131B
• Invests in military family housing… pic.twitter.com/qFag8vIoG8— Congressman Dan Meuser (@RepMeuser) June 25, 2025

Protects Second Amendment rights for veterans
This bill will directly benefit the 45,000 veterans in our District, as well as their families. I urge my colleagues to pass this legislation, which reflects our values, strengthens our defense, and ensures we never waver in our duty to those who’ve sacrificed for our freedom.
Will the Democrats try and stop this in the Senate, use the filibuster?
