House Clears National Security Funding Bills

House lawmakers overwhelmingly passed a series of supplemental appropriations measures to provide additional national security funding for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific this past weekend following several months of debate and partisan gridlock. A fourth bill — which includes a modified version of the TikTok “divest-or-ban” bill and a series of foreign policy and national security provisions — also passed the House on Saturday. Under a House procedural maneuver, the bills will be packaged together as an amendment to the Senate-passed national security supplemental for a final up-or-down vote in the upper chamber on Tuesday. This is the only scheduled floor vote in either chamber for this week. Legislative activity will resume after the Passover district work period on Monday, April 29.
