The House on Wednesday passed a $147 billion spending bill for Veterans Affairs and military construction but lost most Democratic support because it axed climate change and woke policies.

Republicans touted a series of policy and funding wins in the bill, including funding veterans healthcare and other benefits and allocating billions for nearly a dozen major military construction projects, military family housing and bolstering the military’s presence in the Indo-Pacific region. “We can, and must, direct our taxpayer dollars to our most important priorities, and today’s bill succeeds in that goal,” said Mr. Cole, Oklahoma Republican.
The bill limits abortion access and counseling for female veterans by prohibiting taxpayer dollars for abortion services. It also would halt funding for sex-change procedures or transgender care.
