House advances four FY2026 spending bills, with DHS vote split and ethanol talks
TL;DR
The House moved the four FY2026 spending bills (Defense; Labor-HHS-Education; Transportation-HUD) toward Senate passage and set up a separate vote for Homeland Security. Conservative leaders secured amendments to kill some earmarks and block enforcement of vehicle kill-switch tech, and a congressional working group on ethanol policy was created to appease farm-state Republicans ahead of the Jan. 30 funding deadline, while DHS funding remains politically contentious over immigration enforcement.
