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

Senate Democrats blocked a $1 trillion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in protest of President Donald Trump's war against Iran, citing concerns over the conflict's lack of an endgame. The 50-46 vote failed to advance the bipartisan bill, which includes a pay raise for troops and increased Pentagon funding aligned with Trump's 2027 budget. The White House resumed bombing strikes against Iran, complicating congressional efforts to impose limits on military actions.
