The House passed a sweeping defense bill Friday that provides an expected 5.2% pay raise for service members but blocks abortion coverage, diversity initiatives at the Pentagon and transgender care.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of Calif., left, answers a reporter's question as House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., right, and Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., depart a news conference after the House approved an annual defense bill, Friday, July 14, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
“We are continuing to block the Biden administration’s ‘woke’ agenda,” said Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo. When Crane used the pejorative phrase “colored people” for Black military personnel, Beatty asked for his words to be stricken from the record. “Extreme MAGA Republicans have chosen to hijack the historically bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act to continue attacking reproductive freedom and jamming their right-wing ideology down the throats of the American people,” said the statement from Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Pete Aguilar of California.
