House Republicans are inching closer to their preferred one-bill reconciliation approach with a planned hearing for later this week, but the party still faces roadblocks to an agreement on how much to spend on President Donald Trump’s agenda.

The House GOP says it's ready to go first on reconciliation, warning it won't even consider the Senate GOP's bill on the border, energy and defense. Why it matters: This escalates the strategic fight between the two chambers over how to get the Trump tax cuts extended past this year — while also adding billions in spending on deportation infrastructure and the military.

The outline for a federal budget has yet to be made public, despite House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) earlier statement that a proposal would be released by Monday.
