Don't know about the live coverage part. I read the article. We'll see how far this goes in the Senate.

Rep. Henry Cuellar (Texas) was the only Democrat to vote in favor of a GOP amendment to prohibit the secretary of Defense from paying for or reimbursing expenses relating to abortion services has passed.
The vote was 221-213.
The amendment — which would effectively roll back a recently enacted Pentagon policy that covers travel expenses for service members who must leave the state where they are stationed for abortion services and allows them to take time off to do so — presents perhaps the greatest danger to the passage of the NDAA as a whole.Democrats have indicated the amendment would be a red line for their votes.
Cuellar is one of the most conservative Democrats in the House and well-known for his opposition to abortion rights.



Part of the article in the OP. Henry Cuellar is the only Democrat I've ever voted for. In the Dem primary against that AOC disciple hag Castro?

He, Manchin and few others are mustering with the wrong party.
