Senate Dems draw rare line against must-pass Pentagon bill

Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, blocked the must-pass NDAA defense policy bill on Tuesday. This rare action stems from opposition to the Trump administration's management of the war with Iran. Schumer described the defense bill as a permission slip for recklessness, citing the unauthorized nature of the conflict. Consequently, the annual defense legislation was prevented from moving forward as lawmakers voiced their strong objections regarding the current handling of the war with Iran.
