Yet during backroom negotiations with the Senate, the conservative wins that House Republicans fought for to ensure the Pentagon prioritizes training our warfighters were recklessly removed, while destructive policies that weaken our military were injected into this critical legislation. From taxpayer-funded abortion travel and transgender surgeries to gender and racial ideologies, this year\u2019s NDAA contains numerous woke policies that are rotting our great military from the inside out.\n\n\u201cFurthermore, one of the most egregious provisions, a clean reauthorization of FISA, was foolishly attached to the NDAA. By extending FISA with zero reforms, Congress carelessly greenlit additional warrantless surveillance of the American people \u2014 representing a complete disregard for our Fourth Amendment rights. This unconstitutional measure also brazenly violates our House rules, as FISA is not germane to our annual defense policy bill.\n\n\u201cAs a 28-year Navy combat veteran, I certainly understand and support strengthening our nation\u2019s readiness through bolstering our military\u2019s defense capabilities and investing in our servicemembers. Yet I will never betray the men and women who answer the call of duty by allowing the Biden Administration\u2019s woke agenda to further tarnish our military, hinder recruitment and retention efforts, and distract our warfighters. I\u2019m severely disappointed that Members in both parties and both chambers impetuously supported the harmful policies and FISA reauthorization in this year\u2019s NDAA in order to get home early for Christmas. Our military \u2014 and our nation \u2014 deserve better.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "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://clyde.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1176"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.307250164449215, "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"}
