US Lawmakers Discuss Israel Aid Package Amidst Political Dysfunction

Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO

The White House will meet with top House lawmakers to discuss plans for sending aid to Israel, as the Biden administration prepares a supplemental funding request to support Israel's military and defense capabilities in its conflict with Hamas. The meeting aims to brief key leaders on the situation in Israel and Ukraine, but it remains uncertain whether the House can act on such legislation before Republicans choose a new speaker. The White House has also considered tying Israel aid to funding for Ukraine, a move that some House Republicans have warned could jeopardize support for the entire package.

New Spending Fights Erupt After Debt Limit Deal

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Hill

The recently passed debt ceiling deal, which suspended the debt ceiling until 2025, is already causing divisions among party lines and factions of the House GOP. Some Senate Republicans are upset about curbing defense funding through the deal, while some Republicans have lauded reforms in the bill they say would allow for a significant cut to federal spending. The bill also includes a penalty of automatic across-the-board cuts if lawmakers don’t finish their annual spending bills by the end of the calendar year. Some Democrats have already signaled they’re prepared to pry open the door to more funding for domestic programs pared back in the debt bill if Republicans do so for defense funds.
