Whoa! I did not see this coming! They put a stop, at least temporarily, to this insane military spending bill, where they are blatantly trying to commit treason, en masse.
I extend a hand of gratitude to Senators Chris Van Hollen and Bernie Sanders, and all who had a spine, under what had to be intense pressure!
Thank you!
Please hold the line!

Analysis Summary
Senate Democrats blocked the $1.15 trillion defense authorization bill on a 50-46 vote, with the core dispute over expanded Iran war funding and increased intelligence-sharing coordination with Israel. Bernie Sanders and Chris Van Hollen were among those voting against it. The block is procedural and temporary — Republicans can attempt to revive the bill. The author calls this 'treason' which is hyperbolic framing; the actual disagreement is about whether the Iran war should be funded and expanded, not whether supporting it is treasonous.
Claims Analysis (3)
“They put a stop, at least temporarily, to this insane military spending bill”
Senate Democrats blocked the $1.15 trillion NDAA on a 50-46 vote. Multiple outlets confirm the motion to proceed failed. The stop is real and temporary by design (procedural block, not permanent defeat).
“They are blatantly trying to commit treason, en masse”
This is the author's characterization of the bill's intent. 'Treason' is a legal term with specific meaning (aiding enemies in wartime). The bill's actual intent is disputed — Democrats say it expands unpopular Iran war commitments; Republicans say it strengthens defense. Calling it 'treason' is hyperbolic political opinion, not a verifiable factual claim.
“Senators Chris Van Hollen and Bernie Sanders blocked the bill”
Both senators voted to block the bill and were named leaders of the opposition (Van Hollen especially vocal). But 'blocked' implies their individual action — it was a Democratic caucus action requiring 41+ votes to succeed. They led the effort but did not block it alone.
