Sen. Ted Budd (R‑NC) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D‑NY) introduced the U.S.–Israel FUTURES Act (United States‑Israel Framework for Upgraded Technologies, Unified Research, and Enhanced Security Act of 2026), a bicameral effort unveiled Feb. 12–13, 2026. The bill would create a U.S.–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative to expand and accelerate collaborative research, testing, evaluation and industrial cooperation in emerging technologies — including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, counter‑UAS and missile‑defense systems — using U.S. appropriations. A companion House measure by Reps. Ronny Jackson and Don Davis mirrors the effort, aiming to fast‑track joint investments and operationalize shared technology for American and Israeli forces.

Secretary Scott Bessent urged Senate Republicans to drop the 60 vote filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, calling the standoff a “prisoner’s dilemma” and saying when the other side won’t play fair you must “move first.” He warned it is “kill or be killed,” urged selective elimination of the filibuster for priority items like voter integrity and to prevent a government shutdown, and outlined a plan for Republicans to act preemptively rather than wait for Democratic obstruction. The comments, shared widely on social media and in interviews, raise pressure on GOP leaders weighing rule changes to advance the bill. (twstalker.com)
