President Trump unleashed his fury on Republican leadership as the upper chamber prepares to vote to override the President’s veto of the $740 billion National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. Last week, Trump vetoed the defense budget after lawmakers refused to repeal Section 230 and didn’t agree to the halting of renaming military bases named after historic Confederate generals. Congress voted to override Trump’s veto and now the Senate faces the same choice. Trump is calling the looming passage of the defense bill a “disgraceful act of cowardice.”

President Trump blasted Republicans writing, “Weak and tired Republican “leadership” will allow bad Defense Bill to pass. Say goodbye to VITAL Section 230 termination, your National Monuments, Forts (names!) and Treatures (inserted by Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren) 5G, and our great soldiers being removed and brought home from foreign lands who do NOTHING for us. A disgraceful act of cowardice and total submission by weak people to Big Tech. Negotiate a better Bill, or get better leaders, NOW! Senate should not approve NDAA until fixed!!!”

Fox News reports:

The Senate is scheduled to be in session starting at noon Tuesday, but Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said he would hold up a vote on the veto override in attempt to force a vote on $2,000 stimulus checks.

In the House, the defense and Homeland Security spending, among other things, was voted on separately from the $900 billion coronavirus relief bill, which was included in a separate package.

The separation allowed Democratic members to vote against defense spending and border security elements in the legislation without putting the actual coronavirus relief in jeopardy.

House lawmakers on Monday also passed a measure in the $900 billion COVID-19 relief package that President Trump signed on Sunday night to give Americans making up to $75,000 direct payments of $2,000 – rather than an initial proposal of $600 – but it is unclear whether the Senate will vote to do the same.
