Republican lawmakers successfully prevented progressive lawmakers from using the military funding bill to advance far-left priorities. The FY 2024 NDAA also expresses that the United States is committed to NATO and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a unified response to the Russian Federation\u2019s war in Ukraine.\n\n\u201cThe provisions in the FY 2024 NDAA deliver much-needed resources for both our active servicemembers and veterans,\u201d said Crapo. \u201cIdaho\u2019s military personnel and industries continue to receive support by funding and deploying military technologies developed in Idaho.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe FY 2024 NDAA ensures our military is equipped to protect our nation and provides a well-deserved pay raise for servicemembers,\u201d said Risch. \u201cThis legislation will strengthen America\u2019s defenses and prioritize recruitment of the best candidates to defend America rather than promoting leftist identity politics.\u201d\n\nSenators Crapo and Risch secured a number of provisions important to the state of Idaho in final passage of the NDAA, including:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:18:03Z"]], "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://www.crapo.senate.gov/media/newsreleases/crapo-risch-support-americas-armed-forces-with-ndaa-passage"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0525011457502842, "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"}
