California Governor Gavin Newsom is taking a bite out of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after the Pentagon’s lavish spending frenzy on premium crabs, lobster, and ribeye steak came to light.
The Defense Department spent more than $93 billion in September 2025—the final month of the fiscal year—on various grants, contracts, as well as a wide range of luxury goods, according to an analysis by the government watchdog Open the Books.
The watchdog said the Pentagon’s splurge marks the largest single-month total for any federal agency since at least 2008.
