House Democrats are preparing to pass a slate of spending bills that will fund parts of the government ahead of a looming deadline, moving to pump money into liberal priorities that will expand the size of government.

The seven bills make up what’s known as a “minibus,” or a more limited version of the omnibus spending packages that fund the entire government at once. Congress has until the end of September to fund the government in full, and lawmakers are juggling a number of other hot-button issues they hope to advance in that same time frame.
