During a presser with Dem leadership across both chambers, Schumer says the reason that the majority of Dems voted to advance the MilCon/Va bill is that it “undid the DOGE cuts in a bipartisan way.” “When [Republicans] are willing to work with us, we will work with them.”

First procedural vote for MilCon/Va passes 90-8

Votes currently at 61-7. More no votes are from Dems Sanders, Murphy, 1 GOP no vote from Lee.

Currently 4 Dem senators voted against cloture for MTP on MilCon/Va Bill: Markey, Padilla, Schiff, and Warren

Sen. Mike Lee tweeted (and appears to have deleted) what he appears to believe is a resignation letter (??) from Powell
