GOP pushes $95B reconciliation package to back Iran war and SAVE America Act

The House approved a GOP-backed budget blueprint that kicks off a $95 billion reconciliation package to fund the Iran war, aid farmers, and parts of the SAVE America Act. The plan would direct committees to craft legislation that could increase spending by up to roughly $60 billion for the Armed Services and $13 billion for Intelligence, plus $12 billion for Agriculture and $10 billion for Administration. It moves to the Senate, where passage is uncertain and Republicans face questions about offsets and whether voting-regulation provisions can survive reconciliation rules. The push reflects Republicans’ strategy to enact Trump priorities via a party-line process, with opposition from Democrats and some GOP critics alike.
