House Appropriations Committee Republicans today released the draft fiscal year 2027 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies funding bill, which will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow.

House Appropriations Committee Republicans today advanced their fiscal year 2027 Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies funding bill out of the full committee.

Today, House Republicans advanced the fiscal year 2027 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies funding bill out of the full committee.

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.
