“The Senate broke a monthlong impasse on its annual defense [sic] policy bill and secured a deal that could see the legislation pass as soon as Thursday. Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) locked in an agreement on the floor to vote on 17 amendments to the National Defense [sic] Authorization Act, a substantial package of less controversial changes and passage of the bill itself ‘at a time to be determined’ by party leaders. … Democrats and Republicans have traded offers for amendments, but have been unable to break the logjam. All 100 senators must agree to quickly hold votes on amendments, meaning any single senator [could heroically] throw up a roadblock and stall the process.” (10/09/25)
