Press Releases

Today, House Republicans released the draft fiscal year 2027 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies funding bill, which will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow. 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.

Today, House Appropriations Committee and Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) issued the following statement on how President Trump’s cuts, firings, and misguided priorities have weakened global health security:
