“This bill not only ensures Congress has the resources needed to effectively serve the American people—it also reins in unnecessary spending and refocuses our priorities to reflect our core values.”

Valadao explicitly described the FY2026 Legislative Branch bill in the same terms as the claim: reducing unnecessary spending and refocusing priorities. This is strong evidence of intent and committee-level action, though not final passage by itself.
