This week: Spending sprint continues; Venezuela war powers expected to get a vote

Appropriations are on the agenda for both chambers of Congress this week, with a three-bill spending package potentially reaching President Donald Trump’s desk by the end of the week, and a possible Venezuela war powers vote-a-rama coming to the Senate floor.

The Senate is scheduled to vote Monday evening to limit debate on taking up a package combining the bipartisan, bicameral compromise versions of the Commerce-Justice-Science, Energy-Water and Interior-Environment spending bills for fiscal 2026. The House passed the package, 397-28, on Jan. 8.

If the Senate passes it without amendment, it will be cleared for the president to sign into law.
