Senate just approved the spending package 68–29, funding the government through Sept. 30, 2023….now heads to the House where the speeches against it from the usual suspects will be incredibly unhinged






NEW: the senate has passed the $1.7T omnibus. 68 - 29. It includes Afghan SIV expansion, it revises the Electoral Count Act, it gives the DoJ more money for 1/6 cases, the Pregnant Workers Protection Act, and more. Now it goes to the House. It's expected to pass.

Will have to do it this spring, and with the repubs in charge it should be a lovely shit-show.
