Financial Services and General Government

Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed the Senate Amendment to H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, with a vote of 217 to 214. This legislation, which enacts five full-year FY26 appropriations bills previously passed by this chamber, is now on its way to President Trump's desk for signature. The American people deserve a functioning government, and Republicans are continuing to lead responsibly to deliver it. The House previously completed months of bipartisan, bicameral negotiations and passed a final FY26 appropriations agreement, but the Senate subsequently altered that deal, triggering a partial shutdown of the federal government. Despite the challenge, the House has once again moved forward to finish the job, keep the government functioning, and deliver certainty for the nation. 

Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 7006, the Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026, with a vote of 341 to 79. This package of bills makes targeted Fiscal Year 2026 investments to drive economic growth and entrepreneurship, support our Executive and Judicial branches, and safeguard American security and freedom at home and abroad. We are restoring commonsense governance and American strength to our policy posture, realigning investments to prioritize safety, strength, freedom - and a brighter future for the nation.
