Overview

  • The Senate approved the Commerce-Justice-Science, Energy-Water, and Interior-Environment bills in an 82-15 vote, bringing completed appropriations to six of 12.
  • The House passed a separate two-bill package for Financial Services–General Government and National Security–State, 341-79, and sent it to the Senate.
  • Homeland Security funding was pulled from House plans after the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, as progressives vowed to oppose enforcement funding without new guardrails.
  • Leaders in both parties acknowledge a short-term continuing resolution may be needed if negotiators cannot reach a DHS deal by Jan. 30, with a DHS-only patch among the options.
  • Appropriators are preparing text for Defense, Labor-HHS-Education, and Transportation-HUD within days, exploring packaging strategies as the Senate recess tightens the timeline.
