Occurrences

An amendment that would direct the Senate to restrict Pentagon funding, such that the food being served to top Pentagon officials in the Pentagon Executive Dining Facilities would need to be the same as the food served to junior enlisted service members serving aboard U.S. aircraft carriers in the Middle East, for as long as President Trump’s illegal, unauthorized war against Iran continues.

Alsobrooks filed an amendment to condition Pentagon funding on top officials receiving the same food as junior enlisted service members during the Iran conflict.

Evidence

Ms. ALSOBROOKS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her ... which was ordered to lie on the table.

Official Senate record shows the Pentagon food restriction was filed as SA 5091 on April 22, 2026 and was only ordered to lie on the table. That is a filing step, not enactment or adoption, so the promise remains unresolved in the available record.

An amendment that would direct the Senate to restrict Pentagon funding...

Alsobrooks' April 23, 2026 press release says she filed the Pentagon Executive Dining Facilities amendment among other amendments, but only the child-care amendment was forced to a vote and voted down. The Pentagon-food proposal is described as filed, with no sign in the official release that it was adopted or advanced.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Alsobrooks did materially advance the idea by filing the Pentagon food restriction amendment in the Senate in April 2026, but the available record shows it was only submitted and ordered to lie on the table, not adopted or enacted. That means the promised funding restriction was not delivered during the period covered by the evidence. Because she made a serious legislative attempt but the outcome still failed, this counts as never with effort credit.
