Partisan Vote Advances Military Policy Bill Amid Iran War Concerns
The House of Representatives has passed a $1.1 trillion Pentagon funding bill, which includes $1.15 trillion in discretionary spending. The bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act, has become a largely party-line effort this year, with Republicans calling it a ‘generational investment in America’s national defense’ and Democrats expressing concerns about the impact on domestic programs. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain path forward. This development was reported by NPR.
