Republican-led House Appropriations Committee seeks cuts to several scientific agency budgets
Democrats and Republicans have split over the House of Representatives’ 2025 funding proposal for key US scientific agencies—although science was not the focus of their disagreements.
On 9 July, the House Appropriations Committee voted along party lines to approve its Fiscal Year 2025 Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The bill was passed by the committee with Republican backing because the party controls the House.
