Review – HR 7147 and HR 7148 Passed in House

Yesterday the House took up the last two spending bills, HR 7147 and HR 7148. After passing the rule for the consideration of the two bills (H Ress 1014) by an expected party-line vote of 214 to 213, they first considered HR 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (covering DOD, LHH, and THUD spending). After rejecting the two proposed amendments authorized by the rule, the House passed HR 7148 by a bipartisan vote of 341 to 88 (24 Republicans and 64 Democrats voting Nay). The House then took up HR 7147, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026. They passed that bill by a near party-line vote of 220 to 207 (1 Republican voting Nay and 7 Democrats voting Yeah).
