Quiver AI Summary
On September 3, 2025, Senator Edward J. Markey criticized the Trump Administration's proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system, which he described as a "trillion-dollar" project that could lead to wasteful spending and exacerbate global tensions. Markey argued it could provoke a nuclear arms race and divert funds from essential services such as healthcare and education.
Markey emphasized that resources should instead focus on public health, education, and tackling climate change, stating, "Let’s finally put the People before the Pentagon... We must put a stop to this reckless plan." He previously expressed concerns in a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, urging the U.S. to avoid pursuing the initiative.
