    Did

    Added about $150 billion in defense funding through the 2025 tax law.

    P.L. 119-21 appropriated about $150 billion for defense priorities, including shipbuilding, missile defense, space systems and munitions. It was paid for with borrowing, as the deficit entry above shows. Separately, in September 2025 an executive order let the Pentagon use “Department of War” as a secondary name; a permanent change would need Congress.
