TL;DR

The Senate is set to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, a critical defense policy bill that authorizes funding for the Department of Defense. The bill includes a $28 billion increase in defense funding and a 5.2% pay raise for military members. However, it also includes a short-term extension of a controversial law allowing warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals, which has sparked criticism. The bill does not include provisions related to abortion and transgender health care access.
