Promise Kept: $150 Billion More for the Military

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.
