REGULATING COLLEGE SPORTS: The Senate has approved a substitute amendment sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to the Protect College Sports Act (S. 4668), to establish various measures controlling name, image, or likeness (NIL) contracts in college sports. Cruz said the bill was needed to "establish a clear and enforceable legal rule book" for the changed circumstances for student-athletes, protecting their right "to earn money from their name, image, and likeness and establishing the rules necessary to end the chaos." The vote, on Sept. 24, was 77 yeas to 23 nays.
YEAS: Durbin D-IL
NAYS: Duckworth D-IL

IRAN WAR: The Senate has rejected a bill (H. Con. Res. 89), sponsored by Rep.

A supporter, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said: "Every Republican who votes against ending the war this week is choosing to pander to the president instead of protecting our troops and our country." The vote, on Sept. 24, was 49 yeas to 50 nays.
YEAS: Durbin D-IL, Duckworth D-IL
