=== Assistant: Here’s a breakdown of what the H.R. ===
Here’s a breakdown of what the H.R. 5371 — Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026 (119th Congress) includes, as relevant to your question about “how much money is going to … Congress, justices and the Supreme Court” (i.e., the legislative branch / branch-security / Judiciary side). Congress.gov<ref>{{cite web|title=Congress.gov|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/5371|publisher=congress.gov|access-date=2025-11-14}}</ref>

===== Key figures =====
* The bill provides a full-year appropriation for the legislative branch (i.e., Congress and related agencies) under one of its divisions. According to analyses: the legislative branch portion provides about $7.3 billion in discretionary funding.

* The bill also explicitly includes “additional funding for security for Members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, and executive-branch officials.” Congress.gov<ref>{{cite web|title=Congress.gov|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/5371|publisher=congress.gov|access-date=2025-11-14}}</ref> - One source (Wikipedia summary) notes: “The full-year bills include $203.5 million to fund security for members of Congress and $852 million for U.S. Capitol Police.” Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_federal_budget|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2025-11-14}}</ref>

===== What this means =====
* So, if you interpret your question “how much money is going to distract, congress , justices and the supreme court” to mean: how much funding is directed to the legislative branch (Congress) and related security (including Supreme Court justices), the best available number is the $7.3 billion for the Legislative Branch appropriation.
* The separate security allocation (≈ $203.5 million for members of Congress + $852 million for U.S. Capitol Police) appears in publicly summarized detail though not always broken out in every official source.
* The bill does not appear (in the sources I found) to provide a standalone appropriation specifically labelled for the Supreme Court justices (as a separate number) beyond the security funding general language.

===== Limitations / caveats =====
* The $7.3 billion figure is for “discretionary funding for the legislative branch” broadly — it covers Congress (House + Senate) and legislative branch agencies, not only Congress. So if you’re trying to isolate just Congress (vs. all legislative branch agencies), the figure will be smaller (e.g., $2.1 billion House + $1.5 billion Senate = $3.6 billion, but that leaves ~$3.7 billion for other legislative branch agencies).
* The “security for Members of Congress and Supreme Court Justices” number appears in summary form (e.g., $203.5 million for member security) but I did not locate a publicly cited breakdown that clearly isolates the portion for Supreme Court Justices alone.
* The text of the bill is lengthy, and detailed line-item breakdowns may require digging into the specific appropriations tables (CBO estimate, legislative text) which may supply more granular numbers. The CBO cost estimate for this bill exists.
