The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan are scheduled to testify on July 14 before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government about the court’s fiscal 2027 budget request. The appearance will be the first time Supreme Court justices have testified to Congress on the judiciary’s annual funding request since 2019, when Kagan and Samuel Alito appeared. The request is expected to include increased funding for court security, and the justices are also slated to appear before Senate appropriators.
