Three appropriations bills moved as one. A single yes vote was a vote to fund military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs (division A), Agriculture, Rural Development, and the Food and Drug Administration (division B), and the legislative branch (division C). Section 2 states that each division stands as its own Act, and section 3 ties each to its own Senate report. The version is an Engrossed Amendment Senate: the Senate struck all after the enacting clause of the House bill and inserted its own text, so this is the Senate's substitute, though the three-subject title still matches the content. Veterans' health care could not be funded without also funding food stamps and the operations of Congress.
Passed the Senate on August 1, 2025.

The bill provides fiscal year 2026 appropriations across three divisions. Division A funds military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs: Veterans Compensation and Pensions at $241,947,603,000, Medical Services at $59,858,000,000, Medical Community Care at $38,700,000,000, and the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund at $52,676,000,000; it rescinds $15,889,000,000 of fiscal year 2025 Medical Services funds and $610,000,000 of Medical Support and Compliance funds previously provided under the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025. Division A also bars funds from closing or realigning Naval Station Guantanamo Bay and from building or expanding facilities in the United States to house Guantanamo detainees. Division B funds Agriculture, Rural Development, the Food and Drug Administration, and related agencies, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program at $118,139,341,000 with a $3,000,000,000 reserve and the WIC program at $8,200,000,000. Division C funds the legislative branch, including Capitol Police salaries of $653,422,000. The text is a Senate substitute that struck everything after the enacting clause of the House-passed bill.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 83 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 267 quarterly reports filed by 32 lobbying firms and by 54 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Davita; Medicom Technologies, Inc; Beaverfit North America, LLC; Picerne Military Housing A/K/A Corvias Group; Team Hallahan on Behalf of Leidos, Inc. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 78 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
