Dec. 13, 2025, 5:00 AM ESTBy Sahil KapurWASHINGTON — For years, Democrats railed against Republicans who voted against government spending bills and then touted the money delivered home to their districts.But now, in the Republican-controlled Congress during President Donald Trump’s second term, numerous House Democrats are doing the same thing.That includes at least three Democrats in swing districts who voted no on last month’s government funding package, along with most of the party over its failure to extend expiring funds under the Affordable Care Act. That standoff led to a 43-day shutdown. But after the government reopened, largely with GOP votes, these Democrats claimed credit for some provisions in the bill, including funding they sought to include as it was developed.Kornacki: Polls don’t show ‘huge gap’ in favorability between Democrats & Republicans03:51First-term Rep. Josh Riley, D-N.Y., last month touted what he called “three urgently needed projects” in New York totaling $2.6 million under the November bill: a fire station project in Guilford and two health care centers in Margaretville and South Fallsburg.“It means Guilford’s volunteer firefighters will finally have a safe station to work from, families in Margaretville will have better access to care close to home, and South Fallsburg will get the permanent clinic it’s needed for years,” Riley said in a statement, vowing to “keep pushing to make sure rural communities in Upstate New York get the resources they deserve.”Riley voted against the funding package and later said he will “keep pushing to make sure rural communities in Upstate New York get the resources they deserve.”Multiple others welcomed money under the funding bill, which passed 222-209 last month with just six Democrats joining 216 Republicans to vote yes. While the appropriations measures were developed with input from both parties, and Democrats didn’t object to the spending provisions, a vast majority voted no due to the exclusion of ACA funding that would prevent insurance premiums from surging next year.Still, it’s a move that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., derisively called “vote no and take the dough” when Republicans took credit for money brought home under bills they opposed, including Biden-era programs like the American Rescue Plan and the infrastructure package.Rep. Laura Gillen, D-N.Y., a first-term Long Island Democrat who arrived in Congress after Pelosi stepped down as party leader, stood outside a fire department in her district with a large check to celebrate a grant under the same bill.“In May, I urged the House Appropriations Committee to allocate new federal funding for a fire truck for the Bellerose Village Fire Department and successfully secured $938,000 during the FY2026 Appropriations process,” Gillen said. “I am delighted that this funding is now headed to Bellerose to help our first responders.”Rep. Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M., said he’s “proud” to have secured more than $1.8 million in funds for projects in his district, saying they’ll enhance rural economic opportunities and help farmers. “This is about delivering real results for southern New Mexico.”Asked about his vote, Vasquez told NBC News in a statement: “Unlike my predecessor, I have actually submitted and fought for federal funding for community projects here in my district.”Other Democrats in safer seats have similarly touted funds brought home after voting against the bill — including Reps. April McClain Delaney, D-Md., Ted Lieu, D-Calif., Donald Norcross, D-N.J., and Rick Larsen, D-Wash.Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., the No. 3 House Democrat, didn’t comment on specific examples, as he said he hadn’t seen members touting that bill’s funding projects at home.“Republicans did quite a bit of that previously, during the Biden administration,” Aguilar said in a brief hallway interview. “We don’t have quite the visibility on where the Trump administration is putting grant funds as we did previously.”“I think it’s important, always, to share information with your constituents on what’s happening in your district,” he said.Part of the reason for the reversal in attitudes is that House Republicans have been able to largely unify around spending bills this year, despite their narrow majority. That’s a shift from prior years, when Republicans routinely had to rely on Democratic votes in the House to fund the government, even when the GOP controlled Congress and the White House.“They’ve got nothing,” Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., the chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told NBC News. “They’ve got no ideas to offer the American people, and they have no accomplishments to run on. So it doesn’t surprise me. But they’re not going to get away with it.”Hudson is now in the unusual position of taking ownership of the spending bill on behalf of the GOP. He said he doesn’t recall Pelosi mocking Republicans who “vote no and take the dough.”“That sounds smart enough to be her,” Hudson said.Sahil KapurSahil Kapur is a senior national political reporter for NBC News.

Dec. 9, 2025, 11:25 AM ESTBy Courtney KubeA coalition of advocacy groups filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Trump administration seeking the immediate release of the memo that provides the legal justification for U.S. military strikes on alleged drug boats.The complaint, filed in federal court in Manhattan, argues that the deadly strikes, which have killed at least 87 people since early September, are illegal and that Americans deserve to see the justification for them. The filing requests for the court to order the Justice, State and Defense Departments to immediately search for all records regarding the legal reasoning behind the U.S. military campaign against alleged drug boats, and to release them to the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, and other plaintiffs, including the New York Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights. “We think that the public deserves to know how our government is justifying the cold-blooded murder of civilians is lawful,” Jeffrey Stein, attorney for the ACLU, said in an interview. “We think that the Trump administration needs to stop these illegal and immoral strikes immediately, and that the officials who have carried them out must be held accountable, not gifted a ‘Get Out of Jail Free card.'”The U.S. military has conducted at least 22 strikes against boats that the Trump administration says are carrying drugs destined for the U.S. The administration has described the crew members targeted in the strikes as smugglers working on behalf of cartels. The first strike on Sept. 2 has become the subject of intense scrutiny after it was reported that two people survived the initial strike on the boat, and were later killed by a second one ordered by Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley, the commander overseeing the attacks. Some legal experts and Democratic politicians have argued that the follow-up strike, often known as a “double tap,” violated international law because it targeted two people who were in an incapacitated craft in open waters.Video footage shows a vessel being hit by a U.S. strike on Sept. 2 in the southern Caribbean.@realDonaldTrump via Truth SocialBradley and Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, briefed lawmakers on Capitol Hill last week. Reaction to the briefings was split down party lines, with Republicans defending the follow-up strikes and Democrats expressing continued concern.The advocacy groups said they filed their lawsuit after the government failed to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request for the documents filed on Oct. 15. “By claiming that these attacks are legal while refusing to provide any evidence or rationale, Trump shows once again his disdain for basic transparency, human rights, and the rule of law,” Ify Chikezie, staff attorney at the New York Civil Liberties Union, wrote in a statement. “The courts must step in and order the administration to release these documents immediately.” Stein, of the ACLU, said administrations have routinely released legal justification memos in the past, including regarding sensitive military operations, because they discuss the principles of constitutional law, and classified details can be redacted.In 2011, the Obama administration released a memo explaining why the Justice Department believed U.S. military operations in Libya were in the national interest and that then-President Obama could initiate them without prior authorization from Congress.And during Trump’s first administration, the Justice Department released its legal memo justifying U.S. military strikes on three Syrian chemical weapons facilities.Stein said he disagrees with some who have argued that the strikes amount to war crimes. “We are not in a war, and so any discussion of these illegal strikes as war crimes is inaccurate,” he said. “The law of armed conflict does not apply to these strikes. They are premeditated killings outside of the context of armed conflict, and we have a legal concept for that conduct. It’s murder.”Courtney KubeCourtney Kube is a correspondent covering national security and the military for the NBC News Investigative Unit.
