On Thursday, the House passed the Agriculture Appropriations Act, the second for FY27. I'll be updating with progress on more later in the week. Currently dealing with an overload of work and meetings.

House passes first fiscal 2027 appropriations bill
by Sudiksha Kochi - 05/15/26 10:30 AM ET
The House on Friday passed its first appropriations bill for fiscal 2027 with bipartisan support, marking an early step in the annual government funding process and sending the measure to the Senate for consideration.
The military construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations bill passed the lower chamber by a vote of 400-15. All 15 “no” votes came from Democrats.
The legislation would fund veterans’ benefits, invest more than $2 billion in infrastructure improvements for Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities and four cemeteries, and include $900 million for medical and prosthetic research, among other things.

The first appropriations bill of the FY2027 cycle may pass the House of Representatives as soon as today (05/14/2026). The bill, covering Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, MilCon/VA for short, is usually the first one out the gate as it is regularly noncontroversial.

Senate adopts measure to suspend senators’ pay during future shutdowns
by Alexander Bolton - 05/14/26 12:20 PM ET
In compliance with the 27th amendment, Senators will no longer receive pay during a government shutdown. It will be withheld just as Federal Employees have their pay withheld until their agencies reopen. If there is a shutdown before November, this resolution will not be in effect as it cannot change the pay of a member of Congress until after the next election has been conducted.

GOP senators ratchet up pressure on Speaker Johnson to quickly end DHS shutdown
by Alexander Bolton - 04/24/26 6:00 AM ET
Republicans in the upper chamber are ramping up the pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to swiftly approve a Senate-passed bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), arguing that tens of thousands of federal workers could miss paychecks next month if the House delays much longer.
