The Senate voted 87-9 to pass a military construction spending bill with $20 million in funding for infrastructure at Selfridge Air National Guard Base

The Senate on Friday broke a multiday impasse by passing the first three fiscal 2026 spending bills, the first time the upper chamber has passed appropriations bills before the August recess since 2018.
