House Set to Pass Three Appropriations Bills

The House is wrapping up legislative business for the week with final up-or-down votes on three appropriations bills. Once lawmakers are finished debating amendments to the fiscal year (FY) 2025 Defense bill, the House will hold a final vote on that legislation plus the funding measures for Homeland Security and State-Foreign Operations. Assuming these all pass along party lines, the House will have passed four out of the 12 spending bills for FY 2025. Meanwhile, Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Patty Murray (D-WA) announced that the committee will begin marking up the FY 2025 spending bills when the chamber gavels back in after the Fourth of July state work period.
