Senate Democrats block $1 trillion defense bill in protest over Iran war

Senate Democrats blocked a $1 trillion annual defense bill due to opposition to President Donald Trump's military actions against Iran. The vote failed 50-46, with Democrats refusing to advance the National Defense Authorization Act amid ongoing conflict and lack of a clear resolution. The bill includes a Pentagon funding increase and troop pay raise but faces resistance over war-related concerns.
