 I'm Chad Pergram with the Speaker's Lobby. Congress is in charge of doling out federal dollars, be it to federal agencies or even to Israel or Ukraine. But in the House of Representatives lately, Congress failed to fund itself. The House defeated a $7 billion appropriations bill for the legislative branch. It was a surprise misstep for the House majority. And it's an ominous sign for Republicans to pass the rest of their fiscal 2025 spending bills on the floor before the August recess. Seven of the bills are far more politically divisive. Ten Republicans joined Democrats to tank the legislation.
