It also pauses OMB from finalizing a controversial proposal that would allow political appointees to halt and veto grants based on partisan ideology rather than merit. “This CR gives Congress a roughly four-month window to get the annual appropriations process back on track. I will support it and suggest we make good use of the time it provides to pass our individual appropriations bills.” | 1 | 2026-08-09T05:47:57Z | 2026-08-09T05:49:40Z |
