Today, House Republicans are ending Joe Biden\u2019s drag queen story hour reading experiment with our troops,\u201d said Congressman Josh Brecheen.\n\n\u201cThis legislation is the most conservative NDAA in recent history. We are saying goodbye to the Defense Department\u2019s taxpayer-subsidized abortions where your taxpayer dollars were paying to transport people to obtain abortions. We are putting a stop to spending your taxpayer dollars on gender transition surgeries. We are eliminating the Defense Department\u2019s DEI office, that prioritized race over military readiness. And we\u2019re prohibiting DoD from purchasing and having pornographic and radical gender ideology books in their libraries,\u201d continued Brecheen.\n\n\u201cIt is sad that these amendments were needed but the reality is that President Biden has politicized our military to a level we have never seen before in the history of this country. House Republicans are standing up for our men and women in uniform and getting politics out of our military.\n\nI am also proud to say that one of my amendments was included in the NDAA, which would require the Special Inspector General for Ukraine Assistance to investigate whether our Defense Department accurately and consistently assessed the financial value of weapons we have sent Ukraine since the beginning of the war. We can never let a $6 BILLION \u201caccounting error\u201d ever happen again!\" Brecheen concluded.", 1, "2026-04-07T14:30:38Z", "2026-04-07T14:34:04Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://brecheen.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=182"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3755839318037033, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
