Senate Approves Controversial NDAA, Raising Concerns Over Warrantless Surveillance and Abuse of Power
The Senate passed the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with a vote of 87-13, authorizing $886 billion in funding for the Department of Defense. The bill includes a proposal to extend warrantless spying on foreign targets and Americans who communicate with them, which has drawn criticism from some Democrats and civil liberties advocates. The House is expected to vote on the bill on Thursday.
