House Budget Committee Considers Trump’s Legislative Agenda

  • On Tuesday, the fiscal 2026 regular appropriations markup process begins with a Defense Appropriations Subcommittee hearing featuring Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine.
  • This follows ongoing tax and trade debates and precedes Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's Wednesday appearance before the Financial Services Appropriations Subcommittee.
  • The Trump Administration sent a $9.4 billion rescissions package targeting waste and agency accountability, while Senate Democrats plan to criticize potential health care cuts affecting rural hospitals.
  • House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said the rescissions mark a spending shift; Rep. Don Bacon may oppose cuts to PEPFAR, a George W. Bush-era AIDS program.
  • The package's path is uncertain amid Senate debates and billionaire Elon Musk's public criticism of its deficit impact and Trump's tariff agenda.
