#House passes * #defense * #policy bill advancing key #GOP priorities
The $895.3B National #Defense Authorization Act ( #NDAA ), sets #Pentagon policy & guides funding for the year ahead.
#FarRight #HouseRepublicans loaded the sprawling #legislation w/ #amendments rolling back #diversity protections & restricting #ServiceMembers & their families from accessing #abortion & #transgender #healthcare & targeted other initiatives.

The bill that cleared the #House sets up a clash — & likely a prolonged negotiation — w/the Democratic-controlled #Senate as the 2 chambers work to reconcile & merge their separate versions of the #legislation in the months ahead. Earlier Fri, the Senate #ArmedServices Cmte released its version of the #NDAA totaling $923.3B.
This is exactly what happened last year, a fact many Democrats lamented angrily on the House floor this week.
@Nonilex Sane old shit recycled.
