A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.

In plain language: This measure establishes a ten-year federal budget framework beginning in 2026, projecting $5.5 trillion in outlays and a $1.3 trillion deficit in its first year while allowing the national debt to reach nearly $50 trillion by 2035. It orders congressional committees to draft fast-track legislation allocating up to $70 billion toward border security and immigration enforcement. Additionally, it creates special budget allowances for operations aimed at arresting, detaining, and deporting undocumented immigrants convicted of serious violent crimes, provided those initiatives are paid for without increasing the deficit.

People affected—Not determinable from the text provided; the resolution sets internal congressional budgetary targets and procedural rules rather than establishing direct programs or counts of affected individuals.
Fiscal magnitude—The concurrent resolution establishes aggregate spending targets (e.g., $5.40 trillion in FY 2026 budget authority) and reconciliation instructions permitting up to $140 billion in deficit increases across instructed House and Senate committees, but it does not directly appropriate funds or change statutory revenue or outlay levels.
