The Senate passed $467 billion in new government spending, sending the appropriations bill to President Joe Biden’s desk to prevent a partial government shutdown.
after Republicans demanded votes on about eight amendments, several of which were focused on immigration. But there were signs of trouble days earlier when those same senators signaled their opposition to billions in earmarks tacked on to the legislation.
“After months of hard work, we have good news for the country,” Schumer said on the floor ahead of the vote. “Tonight, the Senate has reached an agreement avoiding a shutdown on the first six funding bills. Because both sides cooperated today, we have taken a major step toward our goal of fully funding the government.”
The minibus, which funds the government through the rest of the fiscal year, includes funding for Agriculture; Military Construction and Veterans Affairs; Transportation, Housing and Urban Development; Energy and Water; Interior and Environment; and Commerce, Justice, and Science. Republican leaders framed the bill as a win for their party, citing several changes to the final text, such as cuts to the FBI, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; more funding for the Drug Enforcement Administration; measures to bolster gun rights for veterans; and restrictions on oil sales to China.
