This year\u2019s NDAA builds on key investments in the Working Families Tax Cuts as Republicans lead the charge to restore America\u2019s military dominance and rebuild the arsenal of freedom.\n\n\u201cThis legislation provides our brave servicemembers with an overdue pay raise, strengthens our nuclear deterrence and missile defense \u2013 including construction of the Golden Dome \u2013 cuts $30 billion in wasteful spending, and revitalizes America\u2019s defense industrial base to secure our safety, security, and prosperity. The NDAA also advances President Trump\u2019s peace through strength agenda by codifying over 65 of the Trump Administration\u2019s executive orders and legislative proposals.\n\n\u201cIn an increasingly dangerous world, we are reminded of President Reagan\u2019s admonition that freedom is not passed along in the bloodstream; it must be fought for and protected so the next generation may enjoy the same level of security and opportunity we have known. And that starts in Congress. Safeguarding our liberties by providing for our common defense is one of our most basic responsibilities as elected representatives, and this year\u2019s NDAA meets the moment.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-23T07:31:02Z", "2026-07-23T07:32:26Z"]], "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://mikejohnson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2924"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.059073954820633, "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"}
