I’m writing about the $87.6 billion supplemental funding request the White House submitted to Congress on June 24, 2026.
I oppose the $67 billion within that request earmarked for Department of Defense costs tied to the Iran war, and ask that you vote against it. On June 3, the House passed a war powers resolution directing the President to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran absent a declaration of war or specific authorization. On June 23, the Senate passed the same resolution, 50-48 — the first time a war powers resolution has passed the Senate. Congress has now gone on record, in both chambers, saying this war should end. Approving $67 billion more in war funding contradicts that position and simply enables continued spending on a conflict Congress itself has voted to end. I ask you to vote no.
On the remaining items: I understand the $11.1 billion in farm aid and $1.4 billion in Ebola response funding are urgent and support approving them. But I want it noted clearly that both needs are largely self-inflicted by this administration. Roughly $10 billion of the farm aid is tied directly to losses from the administration’s own tariff policy. And the Ebola response funding is needed in part because the 2025 dissolution of USAID, along with cuts to CDC and withdrawal from WHO, degraded the surveillance and supply infrastructure that public health officials say allowed this outbreak to spread before it was detected. These aren’t unavoidable emergencies — they’re the cost of decisions this administration made and could have avoided. I’d ask that this be acknowledged on the record even as the funding is approved.
