Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Lawmakers are expected to vote on three of their must-pass appropriations bills to fund the departments of Defense and Homeland Security, as well as state and foreign operations. The House Appropriations Committee will also continue its markups for other spending bills that will come to the floor later this summer, including the Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bills that allocate funding for agencies such as the Justice Department.
Jordan has also made funding requests for fiscal 2025 to include cuts for “politicized prosecutions from state and local prosecutors engaged in lawfare,” specifically naming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, each of whom has opened cases against Trump.
“These cases are coordinated political attacks, plain and simple,” Johnson told reporters last month. “They are a clear attempt to keep Donald Trump in the courtroom and off the campaign trail. That’s what this is. It’s an election interference. It is borderline criminal conspiracy, and the American people see right through it.”
Meanwhile, GOP leaders are looking to advance the Defense, Homeland, and SFOPS bills to the floor this week for full consideration to stay on track with their ambitious appropriations schedule unveiled earlier this year. Under that plan, lawmakers are hoping to vote on all 12 appropriations bills in June and July to have the budget completed through the House before members leave for their August recess.
