"Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month -- roughly the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for THREE YEARS. But instead of lowering Americans' healthcare costs, Hegseth used millions of taxpayer dollars on fruit baskets, Herman Miller recliners, ice cream machines, Alaskan King Crabs and a Steinway & Sons grand piano.

Sen. Schumer based his tweet off a left-wing outlet tweeting, "New Pentagon budget reports show Pete Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month, making it the highest monthly expense since 2008. This budget report included spending $2 million on Alaskan King Crab."
