WASHINGTON – Today, the House Appropriations Committee released text for the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment fiscal year 2026 funding package. 

In total, the appropriations bills reject more than $163 billion in proposed cuts to public services, helps to address the cost of living crisis, and protects funding for key Democratic priorities like clean energy, environmental protection, scientific research and public safety grants.

“This legislation is a forceful rejection of draconian cuts to public services proposed by the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress,” said House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (CT-03). “As the cost of living crisis exacerbated by the Trump Administration continues to worsen, this package makes meaningful investments to bring down costs for utility bills and provides substantial funding for clean energy. It makes our communities safer by increasing funding for Violence Against Women Act and other public safety grants. And it protects our environment, national parks, public lands, natural resources, and endangered species, rejecting more than $9.5 billion in proposed Republican cuts.

“Additionally, there is not a single Republican poison pill provision in this bill. Despite their efforts to include over 140 hyper-partisan line items that would have weakened gun safety regulations, expanded oil and gas leasing on federal land, diminished investments in renewable energy, and imposed cruel culture-war constraints on LGBTQ+ Americans, none of these provisions was ultimately included. Democrats successfully defeated every single one.

“Perhaps most importantly, this legislation reasserts Congress’s power of the purse. Rather than another short-sighted stop-gap measure that affords the Trump Administration broader discretion, this full-year funding package restrains the White House through precise, legally binding spending requirements. There is still much more work to do before January 30, but this is an important first step. I look forward to casting my vote in favor of this package.”
