House Appropriations Democrats

Ranking Member @rosadelauro and House Appropriations Committee Democrats are investing in America’s working families. Updates from staff.

The Trump Administration is harming children again.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement gutted independent legal services for these children. Without independent lawyers, children will face judges scared and alone. Many of these children fled trauma. The Trump Administration is traumatizing them again.

[House Appropriations Democrats @AppropsDems]

Former Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Shalanda Young: “Apportionment is yours. You gave it to OMB… if OMB is not doing the job you want it to do, whether it be mine or this one, it belongs to you and you can take it back.”

[Rosa DeLauro @rosadelauro]

The House Appropriations Committee is holding a hearing on a proposal to give President Trump and Russ Vought even MORE power over federal spending. @AppropsDems are fighting back.

[Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer]

Small businesses deserve our help, and they deserve answers.

As Trump and Republicans tell American workers & small businesses owners "You're on your own," @AppropsDems are fighting to ensure they get the resources and support they need to help their businesses grow.

[Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer]

Each branch of government has a constitutional duty to protect the constitutionally granted powers of the other two branches & hold each other accountable.

Tune in now as @AppropsDems discuss the independence, budget, security, and stewardship of SCOTUS.

[Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer]

OMB is the nerve center of presidential power, & Director Vought has relentlessly focused on enacting his own ideological program to the detriment of the American people's livelihoods.

@AppropsDems will continue using every tool we have to put an end to the Admin's mismanagement of our government.

[Rosa DeLauro @rosadelauro]

TODAY at 10 AM, @AppropsDems will question OMB Director Russ Vought on his corrupt power-grab.

Watch here: https://t.co/y2OBjIdwJz

[Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer]

Under Russell Vought, OMB has extended the limits of the Executive Branch's constitutional power and been a source of trauma for our civil servants.

Tune in at 10:00 a.m. as @AppropsDems conduct oversight to hold Vought, Trump & DOGE accountable for the chaos they've created:

We can support a strong national defense without turning our backs on Americans struggling with rising costs.

House Republicans want to cut nearly $13 billion from programs that help working families afford the essentials.

Watch as @AppropsDems fight back: https://t.co/VB2tiMzCEb

[Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer]

Our national defense should support our servicemembers, protect our allies, & enhance diplomatic strength - not abdicate Congress' oversight authority, abandon Ukraine, or force Americans to pay for wars of choice or inflated budgets.

$1,072,210,299,000.

That’s how much Republicans want to give the Pentagon, while you can’t afford groceries or to take that summer road trip you’ve been planning all year.

@AppropsDems will fight to lower prices, not hand Hegseth $1.1 trillion. https://t.co/LeK636cHvH

[Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets]

Republicans want to give the Pentagon $1,072,210,299,000. Remember this as you buy gas and groceries or budget for a summer trip.

Watch @AppropsDems fight to lower prices, not hand the military $1.1 trillion:

[Rep. Betty McCollum @BettyMcCollum04]

While you struggle to afford your life, Republicans are proposing a $1,072,210,299,000 budget for the Pentagon.

It's an unprecedented sum that comes at the cost of healthcare, education, and diplomacy.

Today, I'll lead @AppropsDems in opposing this bill.

Republicans want to impose new work requirements on health care while cutting the programs that help people find jobs.

That's not fiscal responsibility. It's cruelty. @AppropsDems are fighting back.

[Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie]

Last year, Republicans ripped health care from millions and cut food assistance for kids, veterans, and seniors – all to give tax breaks to their billionaire donors.
Last night, in the @AppropsDems Committee, I saw more of the same: Republicans rolling over for Trump while their own constituents struggle to make ends meet.

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

The cost-of-living crisis is real, and working families are paying the price.

That's why my @AppropsDems colleagues and I are fighting back against Republican proposals to cut health care and make life even more expensive. Americans deserve lower costs and greater opportunity.

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

Today, @AppropsDems are marking up the Homeland Security funding bill.

We're fighting to hold ICE and CBP accountable by requiring judicial warrants, respecting civil rights, and operating with full transparency.

This weekend there was a mass shooting in Toledo—12 people were shot. Thanks to dedicated first responders with years of groundbreaking training, no one died. Training of this type was developed by the CDC's Firearm Injury & Mortality Prevention Research Program. Today's GOP bill defunds the program.
