The Senate met at 3 p.m. and was called to order by the President pro tempore (Mr. Grassley).

The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer: Let us pray. Eternal God, as flags fly at half-staff throughout our Nation to honor Senator Lindsey Graham, we give thanks to You for his life and for his years of public service. Lord, we remember with gratitude his commitment to the responsibilities entrusted to him and the many ways he sought to serve the people of this country. Give comfort, strength, and peace to his family, friends, colleagues, and all who mourn his passing. Surround them with Your presence in the days ahead and remind them of the hope that endures even in the midst of grief. May this time of remembrance inspire us to value service over self-interest, compassion over division, and hope over despair. O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes and the world is hushed and the fever of life is over and our work is done. We pray in the name of Him who said, "I am the resurrection and the life." Amen.

The President pro tempore led the Pledge of Allegiance, as follows:

The senior assistant bill clerk read the nomination of Matthew A. Schwartz, of New York, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Second Circuit.

The assistant bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.

The majority leader is recognized.

As I noted, Mr. President, our trip last week to Turkiye was an effort to discuss some of the war and peace issues of our time. Lindsey knew the stakes at play in Ukraine and the importance of standing up to Russian tyranny. This topic was top of mind for all of those who attended the NATO summit, which concluded in Turkiye last week. I attended the summit with a bipartisan group of Senators, including Senators Jeanne Shaheen, Mike Rounds, Chris Coons, and Congressman Mike Turner. Senator Graham joined us as part of the visit as well. With the war in Ukraine entering its fifth bloody year, the timing of this event was important, as tides begin to turn in Ukraine's favor. Not only did Ukraine repel the initial invasion by one of the world's largest armies, but it is increasingly showing progress in winning this conflict. Russia has been unable to seize additional land and is suffering staggering, staggering losses--losses that no political leader can sustain for a war of folly. Ukraine has also increasingly taken the conflict to Russia, weakening its energy and military infrastructure and turning Russian public opinion against the war in Ukraine. And unlike Russia, Ukraine is careful not to strike civilian targets. I am happy to report from the NATO summit that the alliance remains determined to see Ukraine defend itself from Russia. Most of the 32-member bloc--formed from the ashes of World War II--have notably increased their defense spending. They are contributing more funding, equipment, and personnel and are reminding one another of their commitments to and the importance of this historic alliance. I was glad that President Trump attended the summit. He and President Obama were right to push our allies to pay more of their fair share for the cost of NATO. But President Trump's constant rhetoric of belittling the alliance and his dreams of conquering Greenland and other follies have been ill-timed, boorish, and counterproductive. They send exactly the wrong message to President Putin about American resolve and commitment. They put countries such as the Baltic States and Poland at even greater risk of future Russian aggression. Already, Putin is testing the alliance through sabotage, hybrid attacks, misinformation, and assassinations. And with the war turning against Russia, Putin may lash out further. This is not the time for President Trump to show Putin any weakness. So I was heartened by the incredible solidarity and resolve on full display at the NATO summit. Quite simply, NATO is alive and well, as is allied support for Ukraine. Congress continues to show strong bipartisan support for NATO, including through funding, troop level requirements, and the Baltic Security Initiative. But we can do more--notably, by helping Ukraine with desperately needed air defense. We should also continue to keep U.S. troop deployments as part of NATO efforts in frontline NATO member states. And we can, at long last, pass one of two bipartisan Ukraine bills pending in this Chamber--one of them being a sanctions package that Lindsey Graham worked with Senator Blumenthal tirelessly to build support for. I understand that Lindsey had finally arranged for this measure to be introduced even this week. I hope we will still go forward with the bill without delay.

Mr. President, lastly, after the NATO summit, we had a chance to visit Hungary, one of our NATO allies. There was a recent election in Hungary that unseated Viktor Orban after 16 years--a period that included democratic backsliding and being a thorn in the side of European efforts to help Ukraine. I want to congratulate the Hungarian people on this peaceful transfer of power and decision to play a more constructive role in European security, including standing with Ukraine. Theirs is a welcome choice that we should support here in the Senate, something I will do in my remaining time.

Mr. President, on a separate subject, last week, President Trump declared that the cease-fire with Iran was over, after the United States launched a wave of retaliatory strikes in response to Iran's firing at commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. I wish I could say I am surprised by this, but I am not. President Trump started this war with a genuine destabilizing regime without thinking it through. As I have said over and over again--a cliche which happens to be accurate--it is a lot easier to get into a war than it is to get out of it, as we are learning in Iran every day. Iran's response--striking U.S. and allied targets in the region and holding the strait and global economy hostage--was equally foreseeable. The Iranian regime, much like Vladimir Putin in Russia, seems to be repeatedly trying to humiliate the United States and play for time. The original misstep may have occurred even earlier, when President Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear agreement during his first term--a deal that was working to restrain Iran's nuclear ambitions. Now we seem to be floundering back into a much weaker deal, one that bewilderingly includes billions of dollars to help Iran rebuild. I hope wiser heads will prevail, and I look forward to congressional review of any ensuing deal with Iran, as required under the bipartisan Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum.

The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.

The Democratic leader is recognized.

Mr. President, now, on the shutdown: Well, somehow, Republicans are even in a bigger mess now than when they left Washington 2 weeks ago. It was hard to make things even worse, especially while we were on the July 4 recess, but they did. Donald Trump is the mastermind at making things worse and worse and worse. Just this morning, Donald Trump told "FOX & Friends":

The Trump shutdown--he is bragging about it; he is predicting it. Republicans have to terminate the filibuster, or we will have a shutdown in September, says Donald Trump. So it is clear. It is very clear. I know the Senator from Wyoming talks about Democrats wanting a shutdown. Well, he ought to listen to Donald Trump. He is the one who wants it. It is clear, if we head toward a shutdown in September, it will be Trump who is responsible. He is telling the American people he wants a shutdown. Oh, Donald, do you remember the last time you called for a shutdown, when you challenged Nancy Pelosi and I in the Oval Office and told us you wanted a shutdown? Donald, it didn't work out too well for you then. It won't work out well for you now either. And to all the Republican Senators, including my good friend from Wyoming, who keep insisting that Democrats are hell-bent on shutting down the government, well, they ought to listen to what their own President is saying. Democrats aren't saying we want a shutdown; Trump is. Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud. He has no issue with shutting down the Federal Government to force through his radical agenda. If Republicans want to clean up their mess, it will require working with Democrats, not seeing us as partisan foes but as fellow Americans. Instead, what are Republicans doing? They are advancing a lopsided, partisan spending bill that would supersize the budget for Trump's disastrous war with Iran without providing cost relief to working families or reining in Donald Trump's corruption. That is unacceptable. Let's put Republican accusations to rest. Democrats want to fund the government and avoid a shutdown and pass strong, bipartisan appropriations bills that improve people's lives. Democrats believe our budget ought to help families make ends meet. Democrats want a budget that invests in bringing down American costs, not one that burns taxpayer dollars on Donald Trump's reckless war. Republicans have plenty of time to drop their "my way or the highway" partisan game. Most Republicans know how ridiculous the SAVE Act is, how unconstitutional it probably is. But Trump is still insisting on it because he thinks it is the only way he can win an election is by fixing it, by eliminating tens of millions of people from the voter rolls. And so he says: Unless I get my way--a little temper tantrum here, Donald--I am going to shut down the government. It is something that the American people can see through in a minute, as they can see through the very unpopular SAVE Act. If Republicans follow Trump over the cliff and insist that the government shut down if they don't get their way, it will be Donald Trump's disaster.

Mr. President, on the Blanche nomination, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has spent this confirmation fight doing what he has always done for his client--his No. 1 client--Donald Trump: denying the obvious, defending the indefensible, and lying under oath. As Attorney General, your No. 1 client should be the United States of America; but here, Blanche, his No. 1 client will be Donald Trump, who has no regard for our Constitution, for our values, for the rule of law, for honesty. Blanche's resume reads like a rap sheet. In his time at the Department of Justice, Blanche has helped the administration defy dozens of court orders blocking their illegal policies. Blanche continues to withhold 3 million pages of the Epstein files and lied under oath to Congress about meeting the Epstein survivors--something they deny. Blanche was the mastermind behind and the champion of one of the most despicable acts of corruption ever in the American government: the $2 billion MAGA slush fund to give taxpayer-funded cash payouts to Trump, MAGA billionaires, and January 6 insurrectionists. Can you imagine having this guy as Attorney General when he came up with this slush fund and propounded it? One of the most corrupt acts anyone has proposed--any Attorney General--and they want to put him in. Oh, my God. I am pleased a Federal judge rebuked that blatantly corrupt slush fund and sweetheart immunity deal for Trump and his family, but we haven't seen the last of this administration's corruption. Blanche has devoted his career to serving Donald Trump and particularly his corrupt purposes. Blanche has gone after Trump's enemies, covered up Trump's crimes, and shielded Trump from the consequences. Who does Trump pick in these very important law enforcement offices? People who represented him, people he knows will lie for him. If he becomes Attorney General, Blanche's letterhead might change, but his loyalty to Trump won't. Again, his No. 1 client will be Donald Trump and his lies and not the United States of America. Blanche has already made it clear we can't trust a word that comes out of his mouth. Republicans ought to remember that during the confirmation hearings.

Mr. President, on the Iran war, Trump formally notified lawmakers that the Nation is once again at war with Iran. Really? Thanks, Donald. Nobody seemed to know that, did they? Trump's rinse-and-repeat approach to the Iran war isn't a strategy; it is a recipe for utter disaster. Again, Trump once again gave a 60-day notice that the Nation is once again at war with Iran. His rinse-and-repeat approach isn't a strategy. We keep moving backward. Gas prices stay high, casualties increase, costs increase. It is incredible what a fiasco this war is. Trump's so-called understanding--a lot of bull--with Iran fell apart faster than the ink could dry. He doesn't tell us what really the understanding means. We hear plenty of things that the Iranians say were agreed to that are not in the understanding, and America suffers. The same-old cycle repeats itself over and over again: Trump tells us the war is over. Iran tells us it isn't. The missiles start flying. The ships stop moving. The prices jump. And Trump comes back a short time later and tells us the war is over again. How many more times is this going to go on before Donald Trump realizes he must end this awful war? Does what Trump does come as a surprise--what he has done? No. There is an old saying that no plan survives first contact with the enemy, but Donald Trump didn't even have a plan when he started this war in the first place. The American people are paying the price for Trump's total failure in Iran. Our servicemembers are in harm's way, working families are forking over a fortune at the gas pump and in the grocery aisle. Americans are sick of seeing Trump burn their tax dollars on his misadventure of epic proportions. Enough is enough. Trump ought to get serious, double down on negotiations to end this war, and comply with the bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate who voted to remove our forces from harm's way and end this war. I yield the floor.

Madam President, I rise in strong opposition to the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act as it is currently written. This bill lays the groundwork for a bloated Pentagon budget that would further embolden President Trump's reckless and illegal war against Iran. It represents a huge increase in taxpayer-funded and debt-financed Pentagon spending at a time when families across the country are struggling to afford groceries, rent, gas, and other necessities. This bill authorizes this whopping increase in funds for the U.S. military, despite the fact that the Department of Defense has never--and I mean never--passed a clean audit. And when we dig deeper into the bill, there are several other new significant provisions that haven't gotten much attention, but they should. One of them would mandate the establishment of a new United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. It is a provision which essentially orders the President--orders the executive branch--to expand our technology sharing and defense cooperation with the Government of Israel. The other new provision would mandate that the President expand and enhance intelligence sharing with the Government of Israel and, at the same time, constrain the President's ability to limit such intelligence sharing with the Government of Israel. Now, I want my colleagues to think about that for a minute. Even when the Government of Israel may be taking actions that are inconsistent with our interests or values, whether that is now or sometime in the future, this provision requires that the U.S. Government share intelligence information with them. Now, why in the hell would the U.S. Congress mandate more cooperation with the Government of Israel at a time we cannot even get accountability and justice for nine American citizens who have been killed by Israeli settlers or security forces in the occupied West Bank over the last 4 years? We have been seeking accountability in these killings year after year--no results. And why would we require--mandate--this cooperation of intelligence sharing when a 20-year-old American citizen student, Sama Safi, is being imprisoned by the Israeli Government on trumped-up political charges as we speak, as we gather here? She has spoken about the abusive conditions she has faced during that imprisonment. And why would we mandate greater engagement with the Government of Israel while the Israeli Minister of Defense boasts about leveling 90 percent of the homes in southern Lebanon and says the plan is to do to southern Lebanon what Israeli forces did with American weapons in Rafah, which is a city in southern Gaza that was reduced to rubble? And why would we mandate this increased cooperation in defense and intelligence sharing at a time when violent settlers are running rampant on the West Bank, destroying Palestinian lands, pushing people off of their land and often with the complicity of the IDF? Why would we be doing these things? The Senate should fully debate and vote on these new proposals before we mandate such major changes in policy. In other words, we, the Senate, should demand transparency and accountability from ourselves, from Senators. Let's debate and vote on these provisions and see where Senators stand. These provisions are just part of the problem with this deeply flawed bill. This bill allows the Pentagon and military contractors to gorge at taxpayer expense, at the expense of my constituents and people all over this country. This bill would authorize a $1.15 trillion national defense budget, which is almost a 30-percent increase from the fiscal year 2026-enacted level; in other words, the current level of funding. And President Trump is calling for even more. This authorization would increase that funding over current balances by $500 billion. But as we speak, the House is talking about moving forward with another $350 billion as part of another reconciliation bill. And then, on top of that, the Trump administration is asking for another $87 billion in supplemental funding to pay for their disastrous war against Iran. And let's not forget that the Pentagon got an additional plus-up of $152 billion from President Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill, which was beautiful if you were a billionaire but not for anybody else back in 2025. If Congress were to appropriate all of these funds, it would exceed $1.7 trillion paid for by American taxpayers and financed on our national credit card; again, ultimately paid for by our taxpayers. So how can we possibly move forward with this huge expanse of taxpayer funds for the Pentagon's adventures overseas when the American people are struggling right now paycheck to paycheck here at home? I talk to my constituents. I know my colleagues do too. Our fellow Americans are fed up--and rightly so--with inflation, the high cost of groceries, exploding healthcare costs, rising housing prices, and huge electric bills as we see more and more data centers being built. As Americans suffer amid an affordability crisis, this bill--the bill that will be voted on tomorrow in terms of cloture on the motion to proceed--would instead authorize wasteful spending for things like what? Like the President's so-called Golden Dome, which the Congressional Budget Office--the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office--found could cost $1.2 trillion over 20 years, as well as a list of other very costly projects. On top of that, as I said, the Pentagon consistently fails to pass an audit. In fact, just last December, it again failed to pass an audit. And so into this organization that can't pass an audit, the bill that we will be moving on would add trillions of dollars into that system that can't account for the money that it already has. We would not tolerate such a lack of transparency and good governance in any other Federal Agency, and yet this bill awards those failings at the Pentagon instead of fixing them. Fiscal mismanagement at Department of Defense is a longstanding problem, but the Trump administration has made things worse. President Trump and his family have engaged with the Defense Department in ways that raise serious questions about self-dealing and misuse of public office. We have seen this administration repeatedly award major Defense Department contracts to companies soon after those companies establish ties with members of the President's family. Just take a look at a headline from the Washington Post today, it reads:

So on top of a bloated Pentagon, we now have this very real issue of self-dealing. The reality is that the bloated Defense Department budget is not going to make us any safer. It will enrich private corporate interests while deepening our budget deficits. At the same time, it is going to deliver a blank check, a blank check for Donald Trump's illegal war in the Middle East. And I have said again and again: I will not vote to provide one dime for that illegal war in Iran. Granting this request for this huge increase would be a de facto authorization of this reckless war. Our colleagues have refused to have an up-or-down vote on an authorization to use military force in Iran. We haven't had that vote, but if we vote in favor of these trillions of dollars for the Defense Department, in my view, that is a de facto authorization, a de facto green light for this war, and I will not support it. Over 4 months ago, President Trump together with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu launched this war against Iran. President Trump did so without congressional authorization, and the American people have already paid too high a price for this disaster. And this from a President who said he was going to keep us out of wars, said he was going to focus on lowering costs right here at home. As we can see, he has done the opposite: started a war, prices are going up. And this is a war that has already cost the lives of 14 American servicemembers. Hundreds more have been wounded. An American Tomahawk missile strike killed more than 150 Iranians in Minab, most of them children; and months later, while the U.S. military's investigation has reportedly been completed, it has not been released to the public, leaving questions about that strike unanswered even as we consider legislation to provide trillions of dollars more to the Defense Department. On top of those killings of schoolkids, thousands of other civilians have been killed and injured across Iran and the region. Thousands more have been killed in Lebanon. Thirty civilians have been killed in Israel. All these lives lost, and for what? Estimates show that this war has already cost the American people, consumers and taxpayers, about $132 billion, and the amount is growing by the day. It is a strategic blunder of huge proportions. And then we thought we were finally on the way to ending this war when the MOU between the United States and Iran was signed in June. At that time I said on this floor that I wanted peace to prevail, and I hoped that the deal would become the foundation for a broader diplomatic settlement. That is looking less and less likely by the day as the United States and Iran continue to ramp up the tempo of strikes, and now President Trump says the United States will take control of the Strait of Hormuz, reimpose the blockade on Iran, and charge a 20 percent toll on shipping. CENTCOM said in a statement over the weekend that they struck 140 targets in Iran on Saturday alone. Iran has said the strait is closed and continues to attack ships. Everything--everything--points to renewed war, a war that was a disaster from the start. I hope that President Trump would have learned something from this needless tragedy, that military adventurism, that promises of quick victory, that fantasies of regime change, and the endless effort to undermine diplomacy led us directly to this disaster. But apparently he has not learned from those mistakes. But we, the U.S. Senate, we should not add more fuel to those mistakes with this defense authorization bill. When you have dug yourself into a hole, the first thing you should do is stop digging. Beyond Iran, this bill also has no guardrails on the Trump administration's overreach on warmaking and warmongering anywhere else in the world. It does nothing to restrain the strikes in the Caribbean that have murdered people on the high seas or the grabbing of Venezuelan oil or any adventure the President may dream about in Greenland or the ongoing humanitarian disaster being visited on the people of Cuba. It does nothing to constrain the President in those areas, nothing to prevent the use of those moneys that are authorized for any of those purposes or anything else. When Congress fails to exercise its constitutional responsibility, we leave the American people with wars that are easy to start, difficult to end, and driven by agendas that may not serve our national interests. It was just a few weeks into the Iran war that Prime Minister Netanyahu said "[W]e are also bringing to this campaign the assistance of the United States, my friend, US President Donald Trump, and the US military. This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years," said Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu. Yep, for 40 years, four decades, Binyamin Netanyahu has wanted this war, and he finally found an American President who was stupid enough and reckless enough to do it with him. That broader context is important when considering some of the new provisions in this NDAA that I mentioned earlier. They don't exist in isolation. They don't exist in a vacuum. They are part of the same pattern, one that would further tie the United States to the agenda of Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Government of Israel at precisely the moment that Congress should be reclaiming its constitutional role, not surrendering more of them. The first provision, section 1217, would mandate the creation of a "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative." This would require--it would require--the expansion and acceleration of the United States-Israel defense relationship, including technology sharing, coproduction of weapon systems, and bilateral research and development across sensitive domains like biotechnology, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and cyber warfare. And Prime Minister Netanyahu has openly stated that this initiative, it was his idea. In a letter to Congresswoman Stutzman who led a resolution calling for a similar effort to section 1217 in the House, Prime Minister Netanyahu wrote:

That was the way he put it. Just this weekend, Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledged on FOX News that this was about merging and meshing Israel's military procurement with that of the United States. Again, he said:

If the United States and Israel were to sign additional coproduction and technology sharing agreements as envisioned by this provision, they would threaten United States national security interests by handing the Netanyahu government leverage over American weapon systems and military technology. And this is not a hypothetical statement. The Netanyahu government has already leveraged its existing coproduction agreement with the United States on missile defense to block American Iron Dome batteries paid for 100 percent by United States taxpayers from reaching Ukraine--directly against our own national security interests. In fact, in late June 2023, Senator Lindsey Graham and I sent a letter to the chair and ranking member of the Armed Services Committee asking that this issue be addressed and that Israel work with the United States to assist Ukraine, specifically referencing the American Iron Dome batteries we would have liked to transfer to Ukraine. In fact, the Ukrainian Government had specifically asked for the Iron Dome system to help with its air defenses. They were not asking for Israel to send its Iron Dome batteries; we were talking about Iron Dome batteries in the United States coproduced between the United States and Israel. And they were ready to go. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the one-page letter Senator Graham and I sent to Chairman Reed and Ranking Member Wicker in June 2023 be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows:

With that, I yield my remaining time to my friend and colleague the Senator from Vermont, Senator Welch.
