Today, House Republicans advanced the fiscal year 2027 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies funding bill out of the full committee. Instead of lowering the cost of living and confronting the climate crisis, House Republicans are raising utility bills and energy prices. The legislation takes an aggressive anti-environment, pro-corporate polluter stance with cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and policy provisions that endanger public health and fail to confront the climate crisis. The bill also guts resources for the arts and museums while failing to prevent the administration from misusing funds to build President Trump’s Garden of Heroes and Triumphal Arch.

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, spoke out against Republicans’ funding bill for the 2027 fiscal year during the Appropriations Committee's markup today. In her opening remarks, Pingree condemned proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Park Service (NPS), and the National Endowments for the Arts (NEA) and Humanities (NEH). At the same time, the Trump Administration is spending millions of taxpayer dollars on the President’s vanity projects in D.C., Pingree said—including a 250-foot Arch, a $1 billion ballroom, resurfacing the reflecting pool, the so-called “Garden of Heroes”, and more.

Today, House Republicans advanced the fiscal year 2027 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies funding bill out of subcommittee. Instead of lowering the cost of living and confronting the climate crisis, House Republicans are raising utility bills and energy prices. The legislation takes an aggressive anti-environment, pro-pollution stance with cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and policy provisions that endanger public health and fail to confront the climate crisis. The bill also guts resources for the arts and museums while remaining silent about the administration using the National Endowment for the Humanities as a slush fund for Trump’s Garden of Heroes and Triumphal Arch.
