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.

    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.
