The Trump administration is expected to send the full details of its first
budget to Congress on May 22, but the topline details have already angered
Democrats and Republicans alike. The proposal, which may be adjusted to
represent changes in fiscal year 2017, boosts the Department of Homeland
Security's budget by $2.8 billion, bumps the National Nuclear Security
Administration’s budget by 11 percent to bolster nuclear modernization, and
provides a $52 billion increase to the Department of Defense (DOD) at the
expense of funding to the U.N., Department of State, and nearly every other
department.

continued.
