119th Congress

Washington, DC – Bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress have voted in support of a clean, nonpartisan CR to reopen the government and fund it through November 21, giving Appropriators time to continue the appropriations process and advance a first slate of full-year funding bills through the conference committee process. Senate Democrats continue to block that legislation, forcing federal employees to work without pay and limiting the services available to the American people.

Washington, D.C. – Following a week where Democrat leaders openly described the suffering of American families as “leverage,” the consequences of their irresponsible shutdown on the nation continue to grow. House Republican Appropriators Robert Aderholt, Mark Alford, and Riley Moore came together to underscore the reckless harm caused by radical Democrat obstruction, highlight progress towards regular order, and reaffirm their commitment to completing full-year appropriations.

Washington, D.C. – Agriculture Subcommittee Chairman Andy Harris (R-MD) joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for his press briefing to discuss the damage happening across our nation while the painful and reversible Democrat shutdown rages on. 

Washington, D.C. – After proudly advancing the FY26 Defense appropriations bill through committee with a 26 to 3 bipartisan vote, Senate Democrats executed a full retreat on the floor. They blocked the same legislation they once hailed for strengthening deterrence, investing in U.S. defense capabilities, and delivering critical resources for our troops.
