Congress held four committee meetings this week, with the House Ways and Means Committee convening to examine IRS enforcement spending levels and the Senate Appropriations Committee reviewing fiscal 2025 funding allocations for the Defense Department. The meetings produced no major legislative votes, though members raised questions about audit rates for taxpayers earning under $200,000 and the timeline for Pentagon budget rollout.
