The Approps Drop
During the week of May 12, the House passed its first bill of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 cycle, advanced a second bill through full committee, and held cabinet-level budget hearings. The Senate held FY 2027 budget hearings as well. The week of May 19 was the last session week before the Memorial Day recess, and it was largely a rinse-and-repeat week during this busy appropriations time of year.
