Members of Congress are heading back to Capitol Hill this month, with House Republicans on track to pass a stopgap funding extension to avoid a government shutdown.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has indicated he expects to pass a short-term continuing resolution to give Congress more time to pass and negotiate bills to avoid a shutdown. In the meantime, House Republicans are racing to set forward their own demands to eliminate"reckless spending" and secure crucial policy wins.The House has already struggled to pass its 12 appropriations bills, only passing one on the floor before leaving for August recess. When the House returns on Sept.
House Freedom Caucus members also oppose a"blank check" for Ukraine in any appropriations bill. The Biden administration received severe backlash from conservatives earlier this month after requesting $40 billion in emergency supplemental funding, which included $24 billion in aid to Ukraine. The bill aims to build more of the wall at the southern border and restrict asylum for those seeking to remain in the U.S. for fear of persecution or harm, according to PBS.
“I will not vote for a [continuing resolution]," Roy said before the House left for recess last month."I will not help advance a [continuing resolution] in any way, shape, or form."House Freedom Caucus members have pledged to oppose a resolution that does not “end the left’s cancerous woke policies in the Pentagon.” However, the statement does not specify how they want to see “woke policies” at the Pentagon ended.
The Democratic-controlled Senate passed its own version of the NDAA, sending the House back to the drawing board and setting up a showdown this fall.Similar to its request for"woke" Pentagon policies, the House Freedom Caucus will oppose a continuing resolution that does not address the"unprecedented weaponization of the Justice Department and FBI."
