TL;DR

CNN reports that Pete Hegseth urged a massive boost to the Pentagon’s budget—described as a historic $1.5 trillion investment—during the renaming ceremony of Joint Base Charleston to Joint Base Lindsey Graham. The base houses over 90,000 personnel, Graham’s death last month was noted, and Republicans reportedly remained skeptical of the large budget request amid tensions with Iran.
