White House officials on Monday threatened to veto House Republicans’ plan for funding the Veterans Affairs programs next fiscal year, saying the appropriations outline as written contains too many partisan attacks on controversial social issues. The $320 billion spending plan roughly matches funding levels requested by President Joe Biden in his federal budget proposal last spring. But, the amendments added to the plan by GOP lawmakers on the House Appropriations have made the proposal unacceptable. The draft bill includes numerous new, partisan policy provisions including threatening the health and safety of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex Americans, endangering marriage equality, hindering critical climate change initiatives, and preventing the Administration from promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
