Trump Administration Gets Less Tech Funding Than Requested In New Bicameral Bills

The fund that supports the US DOGE Service would receive less than half of what was requested, and the bills do not include explicit reauthorization for the Technology Modernization Fund.
Appropriators in both the House and Senate released a new package of conferenced bills over the weekend to fund several agencies as they work to avert another government shutdown at the end of the month.
Among the packages introduced is the bicameral, bipartisan Financial Services and General Government bill, which includes several government tech funding pools — some of which are getting less than the Trump administration asked for.
