The House passed on June 28 bills to fund the Department of Defense, State Department, and Department of Homeland Security—despite opposition from the White House.

The State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, which passed 212–200, totals $51.71 billion, or $7.6 billion less than that allocated for the 2024 fiscal year.
