The House aims to finish its work on fiscal 2026 appropriations bills this week, after releasing a four-bill package early Tuesday headlined by funding for the Pentagon and the Department of Health and Human Services.
House leaders plan to take up the package this week. It includes the Defense, Labor-HHS-Education, Transportation-HUD and Homeland Security spending bills, as well as several add-ons from authorizing committees, including health care “extenders” and trade preference renewals.
The Homeland Security portion of the package, which has been among the most contentious due to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement actions in major cities over the past year, may receive a separate vote, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee.
