What it does

Senate Armed Services FY2027 NDAA (~$1.15T authorization) that failed cloture on the motion to proceed along near party-line lines.

Why it matters

First time in modern practice the Senate blocked the motion to proceed on the annual NDAA — war powers and spending ceilings collided with a must-pass vehicle.

Progressive take

Do not let 'support the troops' branding erase the Article I question. If the White House resumes hostilities without authorization, force that fight onto the NDAA record.
