VETO THIS! House and Senate conferees have finalized a version of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act that ignores two veto threats from President Trump, effectively daring him to act on his Tuesday night Twitter ultimatum to “unequivocally VETO” the crucial bill needed to fund the military.
Democrats would not budge on removing language that would force the Army to strip the names of Confederate military leaders from 10 bases, and there was strong bipartisan opposition to Trump’s demand to use the annual defense policy bill as a vehicle for reforming or repealing Section 230, a federal law which provides liability protection for internet platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, social media sites that some accuse of censoring conservative opinion.
