Press Release : Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies

After hours of pointless amendment debate to appease their most extreme members, House Republicans ran away from a final vote on their harmful fiscal year 2025 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies funding bill. This defeat comes after their Legislative Branch funding bill failed on the House Floor and House Republican leadership scrapped plans to complete all 12 funding bills before August.

Today, Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro, alongside several education, environmental, labor, and public health advocates, experts, and community leaders, discussed the dire consequences of the House Republican majority’s dangerous spending cuts and the harmful and discriminatory policy riders throughout all 12 fiscal year 2025 funding bills.
