These bills will fund the State and Defense Departments and include many conservative wins such as prohibiting funds for abortion-related travel reimbursement, abolishing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices, and preventing COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates. Earlier in the week, Congressman Brecheen offered three amendments to the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, which would cut $175 million in unnecessary spending. | 1 | 2026-04-07T14:30:38Z | 2026-04-07T14:34:20Z |
