perfect example of the tone-deaf left.
corporate democrats will never get it and are just "republican lite".
jackasses.
What is tone deaf about this?

U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) introduced the Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025, legislation that would require contractors to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with access to technical data and materials the military needs to repair and maintain its own equipment.

While this isn't as far as I'd like them to go, this is extremely big news. The amount of money spent on absolute bullshit fees by defense contractors is bonkers. Us taxpayers are shelling out billions of dollars to buy a single jet that we then have to spend millions of dollars per year to maintain, simply because we aren't allowed to maintain it ourselves.

instead of pushing for a right to repair for all US citizens, including military, they instead opt for right to repair for military only.
this sends the message that corporate interests are far more valuable to political leaders than the needs of their constituency.
Warren looks great on paper, but given the opportunity she fails to deliver to the American public what is needed. she's no different than Joe Biden, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, etc. At the end of the day they serve their corporate masters and not the public.
if they did serve the public this wouldn't even be news because everyone would have had the right to repair decades ago.

This is really going to confuse MAGA. Pro-military but anti-corporate profits…

I'm on board regardless.
It might have some side effects of affecting more than just the military, but codified right to repair into law is never going to be a bad thing IMO.

Don't worry. We prioritize the military over healthcare, wealth disparity, hunger, homelessness, cost of living, climate change, etc. This issue will be resolved right quick.
But fuck veterans. They can go fuck off and die.

That wasn't a thing already? Not a requirement for military orders?
You mean they could ship something into the military without proper documentation and bill it every time maintenance has to be done?
Some things in your land of the free seem to confuse me.
The free part was an oversight they're been working to remove.

What about the civilian right to repair.
Why can’t we all just be allowed to fix all of our shit. Sell me parts, let me open up things and poke around without illegals saying I violated the warranty.

Thanks for the type up! I really do appreciate the info, I'm just bitching about the current state of things and how this seems like a distraction compared to the laundry list of other stuff going on.
No problem. I'm not happy with the current state of things either, but crossing one thing off the list, even if its lower priority to us, is still good for someone.
I find it interesting that some of the other comments go on picking apart my thing, that basically boil down to military = bad, so right to repair = bad and its not a problem because they are already wasting money. Be glad something good is moving toward.
Consumer rights have been increasingly stomped on by the mega corporations for years now, and they continuasly push the boundries. The very concept of a terms of service "contract" that can be changed anytime by 1 party (and heavily in their favor) is insane.
The more control we get back the better.
