By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Senate Republicans are considering a third reconciliation package to replenish the Pentagon's weapons stocks, viewing it as a backup plan if the regular appropriations process fails. House Speaker Mike Johnson is attempting to pass a rule, a short-term funding bill, and a budget resolution to enable this. President Trump is urging House Republicans to support the budget resolution, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will testify on supplemental funding requests.
