Congress avoided a government shutdown and passed a $1.7 trillion omnibus funding bill.

The House approved a $1.7 trillion spending package Friday, a day after the Senate adopted the sweeping bill despite a last minute tussle between Republicans and Democrats over southern border policies.
The House vote, which provides funding of domestic and foreign programs through Sept. 30, took place only hours before the government ran out of money and would have had to initiate a partial federal shutdown.
The Senate added a list of amendments to the hefty spending package during their hours-long voting session Thursday, including legislation that provides basic workplace protections for pregnant and breast-feeding workers.

The United States is a secular country. Your little bible has no more authority here than the last Harry Potter novel – and is much more poorly written.
@Peter Collins …Isaiah…‘To me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall swear allegiance.’
Ship of fool 🤣😂😭💀

We the people sure didn’t pass this nonsense! Time to take back the power people!!!!!!!!!!!!
you and who? usa government has been taken over by outside force. the last time the usa belong to american was before ww1
We never had the power to pass or not pass bills, though. We’re not a democracy.
It would be great if someone printed cards to send to the 18 republican senators and any republican congressmen that voted for this bill, return address would read as follows, DNA Request Republican National Convention 2024. Inside would be an invitation to the representative for the 2024 Republican National Convention. Directly below that would read, Senator/ Congressman (name) Please, DO NOT ATTEND.
Due to your support of unlimited government spending on some of the most wasteful projects and democrat policies, you are not welcome at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
You people will do nothing just like you always done. Complain to your idiot friends and strangers on the internet
45 BILLION TO UKRAINE 😨😱😫

Show me the pork!!! Last ditch effort before you lose the house. I’m not hating. If I was in your shoes, I may have done the same thing. Do we have 1.7 trillion to give? We are not in Kansas anymore Auntie Em.. No matter how this goes. Life goes on. We can eat crow later. Glad that you are happy.
The federal reserve allowed Congress to use the money so yes we have it. The bank doesn’t give money is doesn’t have.
sad and wasteful spening of $ we don’t have
Destabilization
Will the taxes be evenly distributed through the states or will some be charged higher than others?
Yay more inflation!!!
