The House and Senate are plowing ahead with their respective appropriations work this week, even as they remain miles apart on funding levels and policy riders.
House Republicans will aim to pass two more partisan spending bills on the floor — Energy-Water and Interior-Environment. Agriculture and Financial Services-General Government may also come up. They all propose cuts to climate and clean energy initiatives.
Lawmakers have floated hundreds of amendments for the Rules Committee to consider Monday, among them dozens of proposals to claw back funding for programs at the heart of the Biden administration’s green agenda.
Meanwhile, Senate appropriators will release four more bipartisan spending bills — including the Interior-Environment measure — likely with unanimous support.
