FY2027 appropriations are actively moving through Congress — representing a faster start than recent cycles. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) kicked off markups in April 2026, weeks after President Trump submitted his FY2027 budget request on April 3. Cole has publicly set a goal of advancing all 12 bills through committee and to the House floor before the October 1, 2026 fiscal year deadline.

The House has completed full committee markups on approximately 8 of 12 bills as of early June, with subcommittee markups for Interior, THUD, LHHS, and Homeland Security either recently completed or scheduled in late May/early June. The MilCon-VA bill is the first to have passed the full House floor, clearing by a bipartisan 400–15 margin. The CJS, FSGG, NSRP, and Agriculture bills have all cleared committee on largely party-line votes.

The Senate Appropriations Committee, led by Chair Collins (R-ME) and Vice Chair Murray (D-WA), released its FY2027 guidance in March 2026. Senate full committee markups begin June 3, with Agriculture, Legislative Branch, and CJS on the docket first. Collins aims to complete all 12 markups by end of June, which would represent a notably faster pace than FY2026. The Senate's overall topline approach — whether to follow the House's cuts or pursue a more bipartisan path — remains the central tension heading into conference negotiations.

Key context: The FY2027 budget request features a significant increase in defense spending, described as a "$1.5 trillion war budget" by Senate Democrats, alongside deep cuts to domestic discretionary programs. The Administration's CJS request alone cuts science agencies by over 31%. Senate Democrats are already pushing back on proposed NIH/biomedical research cuts, cuts to port and drought infrastructure, and HUD reductions. A government shutdown at the start of FY2027 (Oct. 1, 2026) is considered unlikely given both chambers' pace, but a continuing resolution (CR) carrying FY2026 funding levels is broadly anticipated to bridge negotiations past the deadline.
