On Tuesday, the Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act. The legislation protects same-sex and interracial marriage.

Lawmakers approved of the measure in a 61-36 vote. It was supported by all members of the Democratic caucus and 12 Republicans.

The bill is now being sent to the House of Representatives before President Biden can sign it into law. It is expected to be signed as early as next week.

If signed into law, the bill would require that all individual states must recognize another state’s legal marriage status.

A new report detailing China’s nuclear warhead has mounted further concern over the country’s activities.

On Tuesday, the Pentagon released a report claiming that China may have up to 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035 if it continues down its current path.

The military activity around the country heightened following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August.

As of 2021, China was said to have more than 400 warheads. Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder made a comment.

“The challenge here is the more proliferation there is, the more concerning it is, the more destabilizing to the region it is. So certainly, we would want to ensure that from a regional, global, and regional stability standpoint that we can maintain an open dialogue to ensure there’s transparency and that we understand what the intent is behind this,” Ryder said.

Meanwhile, China says they are only open to dialogue if the U.S. reduces their own stockpile level of nukes.
