Adam Smith: “The United States needs to continue sanctioning the Taliban but needs to do so in a thoughtful and targeted manner.”

But Israel certainly has that interest.

The problem with this year's defense authorization bill is that it comes with the inclusion of $1.15 trillion in discretionary spending.

Our country faces threats and DoD has modernization needs, but I will not support making massive cuts to critically important domestic programs and slashing taxes to meet those needs.

I think that whole thing has created a major problem as well.
