“With this latest government funding package, Congress is well on its way to completing our appropriations work and stopping another Democrat shutdown,” said Congressman Alford. “This legislation delivers real savings, real security, and real America First wins. It codifies DOGE cuts to woke and wasteful foreign aid programs, while funding those critical to our national security at reasonable levels. This is what responsible governing looks like, prioritizing economic growth, safety, strength, and freedom.”
