While Republicans warn of lean times ahead, many on Capitol Hill are hoping Congress will choose to pony up more money for itself.
Several legislative branch agencies are seeking substantial funding hikes for fiscal 2026, even as the White House proposes steep cuts to domestic spending and foreign aid, as outlined in a detailed request released Friday.
The Capitol Police are asking for $967.8 million, an increase of roughly 20 percent over current enacted levels, continuing an upward trend that accelerated after a mob attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
