Trump vetoed the legislation last week over objections to liability protections for social media companies and because he did not want to rename military bases currently named for Confederate generals. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna says Trump\u2019s reasons for vetoing the bill are \u201cdisingenuous,\u201d but that he will not be voting to override the veto. \u201cThe bottom line is $740 billion is way too much defense spending,\u201d says Khanna. \u201cThe priorities are wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>#DemocracyNow<\/p>\n<p>Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on nearly 1,400 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
