House and Senate Action

The House is the only chamber in session this week.

House leaders are nearing the finish line on the full slate of FY 2026 appropriations, with a four-bill minibus expected to move this week, roughly 10 days ahead of the January 30 funding deadline. The package is expected to include Defense, Homeland Security, Labor-HHS-Education, and Transportation-HUD, along with several potential add-ons that have bipartisan support. While appropriators are optimistic about the outcome, the package does face some headwinds. For example, funding for the Department of Homeland Security is expected to be particularly contentious for Democrats amid concerns over recent immigration enforcement actions.
