House Approves $866 Billion Military Spending Bill
House Approves, $866 Billion , Military Spending Bill.
On December 14, over two-thirds of the United States House
of Representatives voted for a defense policy bill that is
now headed to the White House to be signed into law.
NBC reports that the bill includes a record
$866 billion in annual military spending
and policies to extend aid for Ukraine.
.
The National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) was passed by a House vote
of 310 in support and 118 against.
.
The NDAA includes a wide range of funding,
including pay raises for troops and the purchase
of new ships, aircraft and munitions.
The 2024 NDAA also includes a four-month extension for
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA), which grants authority for domestic surveillance.
On December 13, the Senate rejected an attempt
to have the FISA extension removed from the NDAA
before approving the defense funding bill.
The NDAA also includes an extension for the Ukraine Assistance
Initiative (UAI), funding it through the end of 2026 and
granting the program $300 million for both 2024 and 2025.
.
NBC reports that the extension for the UAI program is
a fraction of the $61 billion requested by the Biden
administration for helping Kyiv push back against Russia.
That spending request has been bogged down in
Congress, where Republicans have looked to leverage
funding for Ukraine for tighter immigration policies.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

As the deadline to prevent a government shutdown rapidly approaches, former President Donald Trump has dismissed a bipartisan agreement between Republicans and Democrats. Trump pushed for a controversial new deal that includes a three-month government funding extension and a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, a proposal that was swiftly rejected by the House of Representatives. With crucial public services and federal workers at risk, Congress must act fast to avoid a shutdown. Will lawmakers come together in time to avert this crisis just days before Christmas?

In a last-minute move ahead of the 2025 elections, President Biden has extended temporary deportation protections for nearly 1 million migrants, including those from El Salvador, Sudan, Ukraine, and Venezuela. This action comes just days before Donald Trump re-enters the White House with promises to end these protections and push forward with mass deportations. As Trump gears up for a tougher immigration crackdown, Biden's decision could throw a wrench into Trump's plans. But with a history of court battles over similar policies, how long will these protections last? The immigration showdown in the U.S. is about to get even more intense.

Bernie Sanders has sharply criticized Elon Musk for his defense of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for skilled positions. Sanders argues that the program helps replace well-paying American jobs with cheaper labor from abroad, benefiting billionaires like Musk. The senator calls for an end to the program to ensure that U.S. workers are prioritized and that corporations no longer rely on cheaper foreign labor. This ongoing debate highlights the clash between immigration policy, corporate interests, and American workers' rights.
