GOP Considers Third Reconciliation to Refill Pentagon Stockpiles

Senate Republicans are warming to using a third reconciliation package to replenish the Pentagon’s depleted munitions stocks, contingent on House Speaker Johnson advancing a multi-step plan (rule, stopgap funding, and a budget resolution). The White House signals a fallback stopgap to avert a shutdown as Trump pressures for the budget step; however, support for reconciliation 3.0 remains nuanced, with some Republicans seeking offsets and others wary, while the Senate waits on House progress to determine how far to push the package.

GOP hard-liners push pay-for, abortion ban in third reconciliation bill

House Freedom Caucus members urged Speaker Mike Johnson to advance a third reconciliation bill that is fully paid for, extends a federal abortion funding ban, and accords priority to an America-First national-security agenda—including funding for the Iran war—while also calling for eliminating clean-energy tax credits and other reforms. The push comes as Johnson seeks Trump’s backing to move a floor vote amid internal GOP disputes, with other updates touching AI-labeling proposals, data-center moratoriums, and debates over elections legislation.

GOP pushes reconciliation 3.0 as ballroom security funding stirs pushback

House Republicans are accelerating plans for a sweeping party‑line budget reconciliation package (reconciliation 3.0) aimed for completion by July/August, but internal divisions loom over its scope. A central dispute is a proposed $1 billion for Secret Service security tied to President Trump’s ballroom project, prompting calls for an itemized justification and sparking concerns about optics amid rising costs; Secret Service briefings and Byrd Bath discussions are underway as GOP leaders seek votes. Other Capitol Hill stories in the mix include Democrats pressing oversight on Epstein settlements and ongoing debates over crypto ethics language in legislation, underscoring broad jockeying over policy priorities.
