Diplomacy can’t guarantee solutions in Syria, but it is far and away our best chance.

If you were President Obama, would you sign this budget deal?

The budget deal provides $59 billion to the Pentagon's slush fund in 2016. What if we chose to spend that differently?

For the last 50+ years, the NDAA has enjoyed bipartisan support - yesterday, it was vetoed by the president. 

The president announcing that he will not withdraw troops from Afghanistan by the end of next year is a devastating blow. 

Yesterday, in a 70-27 vote, lawmakers in the Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which lays out how the Pentagon might spend its 2016 $612 billion budget.

As of last week, the deal is officially in effect as lawmakers have lost their opportunity to block implementation of the plan. WHat happens next?

Last week, Senate Democrats filibustered a vote to reject the Iran deal. What's next?

Earlier this week, President Obama announced that after more than a year and a half of negotiations, the U.S. reached a nuclear deal with Iran. This newly reached deal provides hope that we as a nation will be able to avoid another long and costly war abroad.

On average, Americans believe that approximately a quarter of the US federal budget is spent on foreign aid. It's actually closer to one percent.
