Appropriators seek ways to curb Trump’s spending cancellations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Senate appropriators began plotting ways to defend their power of the purse Monday after President Donald Trump announced plans to cancel $810 million in appropriated funding without the approval of Congress. The so-called pocket rescission to claw back funding, announced Friday night, drew immediate condemnation from appropriators of both parties, who denounced the move as illegal. With the current fiscal year set to end Wednesday, Trump allowed virtually no time for Congress to vote on the res
White House cancels health, education funds approved by Congress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Trump administration announced plans Friday night to cancel $810 million in funding for health, education and other programs just days before the end of the current fiscal year, triggering another fight with Congress over the power of the purse.

On Capitol Hill, she pursued a similar fiscal agenda through the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus and as co-chair of a fiscal responsibility task force in the Democrats’
Funding extension clears House, avoiding shutdown threat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The House easily cleared a stopgap spending bill Tuesday that would keep federal agencies funded through Dec. 11, avoiding the risk of a partial government shutdown this fall. On a lopsided vote of 370-48, the House sent to President Donald Trump’s desk a short-term funding patch despite objections from hard-line conservatives over various policy concerns. The Senate passed the measure on a 90-6 vote early last month and Trump was expected to sign it in short order. Tuesday’s House vote marked t
