• Senate Democrats block NDAA advancement to protest Trump's Iran hostilities — Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, blocked advancement of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Tuesday in protest of Trump's resumption of military hostilities with Iran. The blockade denied the bill the 60 votes needed to clear the Senate. Democrats cited an ongoing exchange of fire between the US and Iran, occurring despite passage of a war powers resolution last month intended to force a ceasefire. The NDAA authorizes $1.15 trillion in defense spending and includes military pay increases and weapons funding.
