The House passed 10 of their 12 fiscal year (FY) 2021 appropriations bills this past summer, and until this week, the Senate had not posted any of their bills. However, on Tuesday, November 10, the Senate Appropriations Committee released the text of each of their 12 FY 2021 appropriations bills to spur negotiations ahead of the December 11, 2020, federal funding cliff. In recent weeks, both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have expressed willingness and intent to pass a full appropriations package ahead of the expiration of the current continuing resolution (CR).
