Military Funding Bill Passes House, Includes Conservative PrioritiesRepublicans have sought to reverse the progressive Left's social engineering of the US military by disentangling it from abortion, LGBT ideology, and DEI practices.
The NDAA is an annual, must-pass bill that authorizes appropriations for the US Department of Defense (DOD) and sets DOD policies. Due to its must-pass, pro-military nature, progressives in Congress have used the NDAA to advance their policy agenda by attaching left-wing riders to a bill they know many Republicans will support. Since retaking control of the House of Representatives, where all such spending bills must originate, Republicans have sought to reverse the progressive Left's social engineering of the US military by disentangling it from abortion, LGBT ideology, and DEI practices. Although most Republicans voted for the fiscal year (FY) 2025 NDAA and most Democrats voted against it, due to the conservative-leaning policies included, a handful of members did cross the aisle. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Matt Rosendale (R-MT) voted against the NDAA. Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Don Davis (D-NC), Jared Golden (D-ME), Vincente Gonzalez (D-TX), Mary Peltota (D-AK), and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) voted for the bill. Before the bill's final passage, the NDAA went through the customary amend-a-thon. Members of Congress submitted hundreds of amendments, and they voted on the amendments ruled in order on Thursday. Highlights of those amendments are divided into categories below: Abortion:
Religious Liberty:
LGBT Ideology:
DEI:
"Misinformation":
Israel:
These are the nine amendments tracked by Family Research Council Action, on the organization's core issues of life, religious liberty, and sexuality, as well as other important topics, such as opposing the DEI worldview, protecting free speech, and supporting the nation of Israel. All nine amendments tracked by FRC Action were passed, making the NDAA for FY 2025 a victory for Bible-believing conservatives.
