Sen. Schumer calls on House republicans to move funding package ‘ASAP’
Congress unveiled a $1.2 trillion spending bill Thursday, ahead of a looming government shutdown on Saturday at midnight — with new funding to bolster security at the besieged US-Mexico border and cuts for controversial DEI programs and UNRWA.
The House and Senate Appropriations Committees released the 1,012-page bill less than 48 hours before several federal agencies’ lights will go dark, setting up a mad dash to pass the second part of a $ trillion topline spending agreement reached in January.
Congress passed a six-bill $467.5 billion “minibus” on March 8 — despite Republican opposition — with funding for the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Transportation, Commerce, Justice and Housing and Urban Development, as well as the Food and Drug Administration and military construction.
More than 100 Republicans — 83 in the House, and 21 in the Senate — still voted against it, which was not nearly enough to halt its passage.
