White House releases key FY-26 budget document

The White House Office of Management and Budget has released an appendix for the fiscal year 2026 budget request, highlighting topline investments in defense spending accounts, though additional information is expected in June.

The 1,224-page document is more detailed than the White House’s “skinny” budget, which was released earlier this month showing topline spending information.

The appendix notes that for the Department of Defense, “this document contains only appropriations language,” while a “separate document containing budget estimates for the Department of Defense will be published in June 2025.”

The document comes as House appropriators are preparing to mark their FY-26 spending bills next week, with defense slated for June 13.
