National defense would see a 1% increase in spending this fiscal year under a Pentagon policy bill that provides for a double-digit pay raise for about half of the enlisted service members in the military.

The House is expected to vote Wednesday on the critical defense policy bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a ban against gender-affirming care for some transgender children that has further inflamed the politics around the must-pass piece of legislation.

The House approved the massive $895 billion National Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday, after a controversial provision on gender-affirming care prompted backlash from Democrats.
