GOP readies to fight 'woke' provisions in defense policy bill

Key Facts

Congressional Republicans are preparing to fight the inclusion of "woke" priorities that Democrats want to attach to the national defense bill they're under pressure to pass before the end of the year.
One key issue of importance for Republicans is blocking language from Democrats in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would require women to register for the draft under the Military Selective Service Act.
"Requiring women to register for the draft does not advance our national security objectives, which is the only metric by which the NDAA should be measured," said Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas.
