Washington, D.C. – ICYMI: The Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies hosted a hearing on the benefits provided by community colleges and other alternatives to a four-year degree. With a modern and evolving workforce, labor demands aren't what they were 20 years ago. Four-year degrees aren't required for many high-paying, quality careers. Appropriators heard from expert witnesses about the innovative programs and partnerships they have developed to educate and train students for promising careers, including doing so without any added student debt burden.

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.
