Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham said Wednesday his committee would move forward with marking up a spending blueprint to serve as the basis for party-line reconciliation legislation.

Bickering in the House between conservatives, moderates and leadership about spending cuts is jeopardizing Republican plans to increase drilling on public lands and waters, cut provisions of the Democrats’ 2022 climate law, and undo Biden administration rules.

“It’s time to act,” Graham said.
