CONGRESS/DEFENSE/VETO: “The House of Representatives on Monday [Dec. 28, 2020] voted to override President Donald Trump’s veto of the sweeping defense bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act, delivering a bipartisan rebuke to the President…

The bill will next head to the Senate for the chamber’s veto override attempt.

The $740 billion bill includes pay raises for America’s soldiers, modernizations for equipment and provisions to require more scrutiny before troops are withdrawn from Germany or Afghanistan, but that hasn’t stopped Trump’s threats against it.”
