US EditionHouse Approves Final Spending Proposals
The bipartisan minibus and separate Homeland Security bill allocate $1.2 trillion for key federal departments, with Senate voting expected before Jan. 30 deadline.
- On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives finished its fiscal year 2026 appropriations work by passing the last four bills and sending them to the U.S. Senate for final approval.
- The House packaged several measures as a three-bill minibus bundling Defense, Labor-HHS-Education and Transportation-HUD with bipartisan support, while the Homeland Security bill was voted separately over Immigrations and Customs Enforcement concerns.
- The spending measures fund major programs, with the Defense appropriations bill allocating $839 billion including a 3.8% military servicemember pay raise, the Labor-HHS-Education bill totaling $221 billion, and the Transportation-HUD bill providing $102 billion with $25 billion for transportation and border security.
- Looking to the schedule ahead, the U.S. Senate will vote next week on the four bills and two measures, with a Jan. 30 deadline to pass $102 billion in funding, some awaiting the president's signature.
- House leaders framed the outcome as a victory over critics, while Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., opposed the Homeland Security bill citing insufficient ICE oversight.
