•      "I rise today in strong support of the Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act. This legislation funds the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, the Federal Judiciary, the District of Columbia, and more than 20 independent Commissions, Departments, and Agencies… The bill we are considering today has a total base discretionary funding level of $26.3 billion. However, when compared to FY 2025 enacted levels for non-defense discretionary spending, this bill is a $140 million cut… The bill will enable GSA to reduce the number of federal properties on the federal government's deferred maintenance list. It provides critical funding for national security, including the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and the Committee on Foreign Investment. The bill funds bipartisan programs, like CDFIs, which support communities, and the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program, which are critical to strengthening the Administration's interdiction and fentanyl trafficking efforts. In conclusion, this bill funds critical government agencies and programs and preserves and protects Congress's responsibility of overseeing how these funds are being used." Source: Rep. David P. Joyce (Republican, Ohio, District 14), Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee Chairman

•      "This full-year funding bill to carry out our nation's foreign policy is historic in many ways. First and foremost, the bill restores fiscal sanity by reducing spending by 16 percent, which is nearly a $10 billion cut, in recognition of the President and the Secretary of State's efforts to make the State Department more efficient, streamlined, and responsive to national security priorities. Within these dramatic but necessary cuts, the bill makes sure that the Secretary has the resources he needs to counter our adversaries like China, Iran, the cartels in our hemisphere, and the regime in Cuba… It puts American businesses first by prioritizing diplomatic engagement to favorably resolve commercial disputes abroad and to promote American business interests overseas. This bill also makes sure that we're spending money according to our American values… It protects free speech and prohibits censorship by "disinformation" and "misinformation" programs that violate the rights of American citizens. The bill makes double digit cuts to UN funding and gives the Secretary of State the tools and leverage to demand much-needed reforms. These are historic changes in our approach that the American people have been demanding for decades." Source: Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart (Republican, Florida, District 26), House Appropriations Vice-Chairman and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Subcommittee Chairman

•      "Today, Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05) voted to advance H.R. 7006… The Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act delivers on President Trump’s America First agenda by ending divisive, liberal Biden-era policies, restoring common sense to the federal government, and ensuring the Executive Branch has the resources it needs to execute the mandate given by the nation. The bill also includes language the Congressman advocated for directing the Colorado District Court to review the need for a new courthouse in Colorado Springs and that could support the seating of an Article III judge. The National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act removes woke Biden-era poison pills and supports President Trump’s promise to realign foreign policy to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. The bill also maintains long standing pro-life protections to ensure American taxpayer dollars are not funding abortions in other countries. "House Republicans are keeping their promise to advance the Appropriations process, while cutting out wasteful spending that existed under the Biden Administration," said Rep. Crank." Source: Rep.
