Democrats say legislation, which is all but assured to fail in the US Senate, is ‘an ode to bigotry and ignorance’.

Republicans in the United States House of Representatives have passed an annual defence funding bill that highlights the party’s conservative priorities – and sticking points – in advance of the 2024 election season.

Democrats have decried the bill approved on Friday, which included anti-LGBTQ, anti-diversity and anti-abortion rights provisions. It passed by a 219 to 210 largely party-line vote in the majority Republican chamber. Four Democrats voted in support of the bill.

      US “defense” news is world news.

      But really, I think you just said that because it’s a U.S. based story. Most of the threads on this subreddit aren’t international unless you define “international” as not-US.
