For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. McGovern), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of debate only.
Virginia FoxxR-NC, House, January 22, 2026
The Labor-HHS title invests in the long-term strength of the country. We support lifesaving biomedical research, strengthen workforce training, and expand access to care, particularly in rural communities. These investments help students gain skills, workers find opportunities, and communities stay healthy.
Tom ColeR-OK, House, January 22, 2026
I rise today in strong support of this bill, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2026. This legislation was a bipartisan effort by all four corners of Defense Appropriations.
Ken CalvertR-CA, House, January 22, 2026

That fuel is E15. E15 is simply gasoline blended with up to 15 percent ethanol, or corn.
Zachary NunnR-IA, House, January 22, 2026
This amendment would strike the earmarks from this bill. In this bill package, there is about $7 billion in earmark spending.
Mike LeeR-UT, Senate, January 30, 2026
I rise in strong support of H.R. 7148, which contains the Defense, Labor-Health and Human Services-Education, and Transportation-Housing and Urban Development appropriations bills.
Stephanie I. BiceR-OK, House, January 22, 2026
I rise today in strong support of H.R. 7148 and the Defense appropriations bill as part of this broader spending package.
Scott FranklinR-FL, House, January 22, 2026
I rise in strong support of this bill and I join Chairman Calvert and Ranking Member McCollum in saluting the hard work of the Defense Subcommittee staff, and of course, Chairman Cole. I thank my colleagues on the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee for working with this body.
Jake EllzeyR-TX, House, January 22, 2026
I urge my colleagues to support the funding package that is before us.
Susan M. CollinsR-ME, Senate, January 30, 2026
A freelance journalist discovered recently that billions of dollars had been stolen from welfare programs in Minnesota. Congress didn't discover this theft; a member of the public did. How did Congress respond? Did Congress open an investigation? Did Congress claw back the money from Minnesota? No.
Rand PaulR-KY, Senate, January 30, 2026
I rise today in support of the rule. The appropriations bills need to be passed for fiscal year 2026 Defense; Homeland Security; Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; and Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development.
Chuck EdwardsR-NC, House, January 22, 2026
With this legislation, we are a step closer to completing full-year appropriations that rightsize our priorities with updated funding levels.
Steve WomackR-AR, House, January 22, 2026
The National Endowment for Democracy was created to support democratic norms overseas, not to engage in domestic political advocacy or to amplify one side of America's internal debates. That distinction is essential to its legitimacy.
Eric SchmittR-MO, Senate, January 30, 2026
Let's start by looking at one earmark, $500,000 for new immigrant community empowerment in New York City. This is an organization that serves immigrants who are here illegally. Why should the American taxpayer foot the bill to support illegals in sanctuary cities when so many American citizens are struggling themselves?
Rick ScottR-FL, Senate, January 30, 2026
I rise to join my ranking member on the subcommittee that we share leadership on. I do thank Senator Paul, but I rise in opposition to his amendment.
Shelley Moore CapitoR-WV, Senate, January 30, 2026
I rise today, again, as my colleagues have, to ask for support for the final FY26 appropriations package. It completes the culmination of a lot of hard work from a lot of folks who fulfilled their commitment to the American people.
Robert B. AderholtR-AL, House, January 22, 2026
We are on the brink of a historic moment. This is a day I have worked toward for a long time. Throughout my time here, I have fought for legislative reforms that will restore a Member-driven process. This is the most Member-driven, principled process in Congress in my time here.
Daniel WebsterR-FL, House, January 22, 2026
And so the fact that this amendment would actually defund ICE and then also would send taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants for Medicaid, which I am pretty sure everybody over here has said they are not for, I think today will be a day of reckoning, and we will see actually exactly where you all stand.
Katie Boyd BrittR-AL, Senate, January 30, 2026
The pending amendment No. 4287 contains matter within the Budget Committee's jurisdiction. I, therefore, raise a point of order against the amendment pursuant to section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act and ask for the yeas and nays.
John BarrassoR-WY, Senate, January 30, 2026
I was absent for the first three votes today, due to delays in returning to Washington. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 39, YEA on Roll Call No. 40, and AYE on Roll Call No. 41.

Here is another thing that I noticed in this bill. There is this creation of an ethanol domestic energy council, aimed at kind of buying off people from Iowa, I guess.
James P. McGovernD-MA, House, January 22, 2026
I rise in support of the measure before us today, which includes the Labor-HHS-Education, Transportation-Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Defense appropriations bills.
Rosa L. DeLauroD-CT, House, January 22, 2026
Ms. McCollum. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of H.R. 7148, the FY2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act. Due to the perseverance of my Democratic colleagues, the legislation before us today protects funding for Democratic priorities, reasserts Congress's power of the purse, and rejects Republicans' poison pill riders.
Zoe LofgrenD-CA, House, January 22, 2026

I also have deep concerns about the State foreign operations bill, now called the national security package.
Chris Van HollenD-MD, Senate, January 29, 2026
I rise today in support of the negotiated fiscal year 2026 appropriations package for Labor-Health and Human Services-Education, for Defense, and for Transportation-Housing and Urban Development.
Madeleine DeanD-PA, House, January 22, 2026
The staff lost their holiday break and time with their families to get this bill done. Particularly, I thank Jennifer, Jason, Ed, and in my personal office, Ben and Lisa, for all of the work that they did.
Betty McCollumD-MN, House, January 22, 2026
This amendment would strike funding for one Member's project simply because the Senator offering the amendment doesn't like the project. That is not how this process should work. Every Senator has the opportunity to submit requests to have projects in their State funded in our appropriations bills.
Patty MurrayD-WA, Senate, January 30, 2026
I rise in strong support of this bipartisan legislation that will make critical investments in housing and transportation across America.
James E. ClyburnD-SC, House, January 22, 2026
The American people are watching. The camera of history is recording. I urge my colleagues to defeat the previous question and demand a vote on terminating the tariffs.
Gregory W. MeeksD-NY, House, January 22, 2026
I rise in opposition to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill. I cannot support funding for a Department that has shown repeated disregard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the safety of the people it is supposed to protect.
Julie JohnsonD-TX, House, January 22, 2026
I won't vote to give Kristi Noem's ICE one damn penny, but the truth is, I refuse to play any part in this administration's cruel and dangerous agenda.
Angie CraigD-MN, House, January 22, 2026
Article I, section 9 of our Constitution puts the power of the purse here in Congress. Our Founders considered this the difference between a democratic republic where the people's representatives design and choose the programs and fund them and an authoritarian state where a King decides what the programs are.
Jeff MerkleyD-OR, Senate, January 30, 2026
I rise in support of this Consolidated Appropriations Act.
Frank Pallone, Jr.D-NJ, House, January 22, 2026
As the House considers this rule and the legislation it advances, I rise to remind all who are present in the Chamber, all Members of this body, and every person in this country that the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: ``The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable…
Lizzie FletcherD-TX, House, January 22, 2026
These are responsible investments that respect taxpayer dollars and deliver real results for working families. I urge my colleagues to support this measure.
Frank J. MrvanD-IN, House, January 22, 2026
I rise today in strong support of the 2026 Labor-HHS appropriations bill. It represents a clear and moral statement of our national priorities, that we invest in people, in their health, in their education, and in their opportunity to work and thrive, and it lowers the cost of living for everyday people.
Lois FrankelD-FL, House, January 22, 2026
Yes, an individual pled guilty today to a $12,000 bribe.
Christopher A. CoonsD-DE, Senate, January 30, 2026
I rise today in strong support of H.R. 7148 because for rural communities like mine in Hawaii, this bill isn't abstract policy. It is about whether people can get care and whether caregivers can keep going.
Jill N. TokudaD-HI, House, January 22, 2026
I rise today in opposition to amendment No. 4272. This amendment would completely eliminate funding for an office that helps some of the most vulnerable in our country. This office helps shelter and care for children who are seeking safety. It makes sure that these children aren't being trafficked.
Tammy BaldwinD-WI, Senate, January 30, 2026
President Ronald Reagan founded the National Endowment for Democracy, in 1983, as an independent, nonprofit foundation with a bipartisan board, and since then, it has been the main way that the United States has helped to strengthen democratic institutions around the world.
Brian SchatzD-HI, Senate, January 30, 2026

This amendment rescinds the 75 billion appropriation for ICE and transfers that money to Medicaid. We don't need a domestic army in America to terrorize people. We need to guarantee healthcare to all Americans.
