The House Appropriations Committee is trudging ahead with FY2027 work, with several budget hearings this week to kick off what will be another difficult funding season.
NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, acting GAO Comptroller General Orice Williams Brown, and Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan are among the witnesses who will be at the funding panel this week requesting money for their departments. These early hearings will be key to spotting any points of agreement or disagreement between Democrats and Republicans.
