The Senate required Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to hand over unedited footage of U.S. strikes near Venezuela and withheld a quarter of his travel budget, following final approval of the 3,000-page National Defense Authorization Act that authorizes $901 billion.The 77–20 vote approved a 3.8 percent military pay raise, roughly $400 million a year for two years to produce weapons for Ukraine, and expanded congressional oversight after classified briefings by Frank Bradley about a disputed Sept. 2 "double-tap" strike.The bill enacts many of Donald Trump's priorities by eliminating military diversity offices, cutting about $1.6 billion in Pentagon climate programs, setting troop floors in Europe and South Korea, repealing long-standing war authorizations and drawing criticism over a provision that could let military aircraft avoid broadcasting precise locations; Roger Wicker called the package "the most sweeping upgrades to DOD's business practices in 60 years."
