Democrats aren't happy today and they're not shy about who knows it.
The party's congressional caucus is mounting a public relations offensive after House Republicans โ and a few Democrats โ narrowly passed the latest version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
At issue in the latest version of the NDAA are provisions that would place limits on abortion access, transgender care and the Biden administration's diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives.

Republicans are fighting back, calling the provisions necessary to curtail woke policies they say are responsible for the military's recruitment crisis.
The Washington Times has more:
After a week of drama, backroom deals and heated debates, the annual Pentagon policy bill squeaked through the House, setting up another round of horse-trading with Senate Democrats to finalize the legislation.
The $886 billion National Defense Authorization Act passed Friday in the GOP-run House in a 219-210 bipartisan vote.
The House's version of the annual bill is largely informed by House Freedom Caucus amendments, which include lightning-rod additions that would halt the Pentagon's abortion policy, gut diversity, equity and inclusion positions and training in the military, and stop military benefits from paying for transgender surgeries and treatments.
Mr. McCarthy, California Republican, was largely able to keep his conference united in voting in favor of the bill with just four Republicans voting against the measure.
Four House Democrats voted with Republicans. They were Reps. Gabe Vasquez of New Mexico, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, Jared Golden of Maine and Danny Davis of Illinois.

Check Jeffries panties, the lying pos
Hakeem Jeffries sounds like he is the one who is hate filled. Left wingers like to call their political opponents extremists. I do not think it is extreme to want to make American Great Again. I guess if you think that America has never been great like many left wingers do those who think it once was great seam extreme. If you are pro life and oppose the LBGTQ+ agenda left wingers will always claim you are hate filled. We follow the Bible directive to love the sinner, but hate the sin. We want the best for everyone. This includes the right to be born and for children to be protected from harmful surgeries.
That fool is having a “turn about dream”
Hooray House awesome
Itโs become quite clear who hates who more Hakeem. The smokescreen here is more funding for the Ukraine Russia War. It should stop if Ukraine refuses to enter into peace negotiations, and unless Russia agrees to enter into them, immediately.
