Arrington signals offsets flexibility as GOP pushes third reconciliation framework

House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington says he won’t press for aggressive offsets in the GOP’s $95 billion reconciliation package, which includes about $12 billion for farm aid. Republicans released a budget framework and plan a markup next week to advance a party-line package, even as fiscal hawks demand pay-fors. The push comes amid broader budget fights over defense funding and other policy items as lawmakers race toward a mid‑summer deadline and a potential August recess.
