‘ATROCIOUS’: 188 DEMOCRATS JOIN GOP TO HAND TRUMP $738 BILLION MILITARY BUDGET THAT INCLUDES ‘SPACE FORCE’
“It is Orwellian for Congress to hand over billions of dollars worth of weapons and bombs to a president waging a horrific, unconstitutional war in Yemen—and call that progressive.” More than 180 House Democrats joined a nearly united Republican caucus Wednesday night to pass a sweeping $738 billion military spending bill that gives President Donald Trump his long-sought “Space Force, ” free rein to wage endless wars, and a green light to continue fueling the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen.

San Francisco's housing market is so dire that the city's radioactive Treasure Island is finally getting a $6 billion makeover. Meet the residents who have lived on it for years.
- San Francisco's Treasure Island is not perfect.
- The ground of the island has been found to be contaminated by Cold War-era US Navy operations, it's sinking quickly as sea levels continue to rise, and it's not easy to get to.
- But the city needs housing, plain and simple, and the island has the space for it.
- A full-scale development of Treasure Island has been in the works for 25 years. In the meantime, the island has been used to house the formerly homeless and others in need of supportive housing.
- Some have made the peaceful landscape their home. But the $6 billion make-over is finally reaching its early stages, and luxury condos, upscale retailers, and thousands of high-earning workers are expected to move onto the island within the next decade.
- We spoke to two residents who have lived on the island for years, one of whom says she and her family have been personally affected by the island's radioactive leftovers.
- Here's what Treasure Island is all about — from its history to the present-day to its future — and how the two residents are grappling with the impending $6 billion change.
- Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Treasure Island has had a few different lives in its 60 years, from the site of a World's Fair to a US Navy base. It's been given many names too, from Magic Isle to the Artificial Lily Pad.
Residents have lived here since the late 1990s, some of whom are low-income, formerly homeless, or in need of supportive housing. Some told us they've made a nice life for themselves on the beautiful and isolated island.
But a redevelopment plan that's been a long time coming is poised to finally disrupt the natural rhythms of the island and its inhabitants. It's already begun — construction crews at work on the island have resulted in the land looking even more like the setting of an apocalyptic movie.
"It's ugly out there, " Mike Bartell, a formerly homeless war veteran and Treasure Island resident of three years, told Business Insider. "It looks like a war zone."
Eventually, over 8, 000 homes, 500 hotel rooms, upscale retailers, office space, 300 acres of parks, and a ferry terminal will be built on the island in the coming years.
The project's developer also has had to shore up the island for seismic activity and for a rising sea level — the landmass was found to be sinking into the bay.
Housing units will be priced at market rate, which by San Francisco standards is nowhere near affordable for the masses — meaning the island's future residents will likely be wealthy workers in tech or finance.
Since this redevelopment has been planned for over two decades, it's subsequently strapped financially, Sherry Williams, Executive Director of One Treasure Island — a coalition of homeless service and housing advocacy groups for the island — told Business Insider. And while new living units can be a welcome feat in the crowded city, what is more sorely needed is affordable housing. Only 27% of the new housing that is planned on the island is slated to be affordable, or below-market-rate.
