Shouting matches, walkouts and bitter fiscal fights have led to a series of legislative meltdowns, with big spending clashes ahead.

When House Speaker Mike Johnson gave President Trump the gavel used to enact the Republicans' tax breaks and spending bill, it was a memorable moment at the White House.

W ASHINGTON—The GOP-controlled Congress canceled $9 billion in federal spending for foreign aid and public broadcasting, following through on President Trump’s efforts to defund the programs and overcoming some resistance among Republican lawmakers.
