and we begin this morning with breaking news on capitol hill. where a major defense bill has been turned into a debate over social issues. overnight, the republican-led house passed a series of amendments to nearly $900 billion defense policy bill. the amendments include overturning the pentagon s abortion policy, banning transgender health services for military personnel and other things. meanwhile, republican senator tommy tuberville continues to hold up military promotions over the pentagon s abortion policy, which defense secretary lloyd austin warned was a national security issue. this is a national security issue, it is a readiness issue, and we shouldn t kid ourselves. i think any member of the senate armed services committee knows that. joining us from capitol hill is ali vitali. also with us is brandon buck, an msnbc political analyst. ali, what is happening with the vote at this hour? reporter: yeah, i believe, jose, the vote is not yet closed, but that the nd
