Here's what's in the $1.2 trillion funding package that advanced from the House to the Senate From CNN's Tami Luhby The fate of the of the $1.2 trillion funding package is now in the hands of the Senate after the House advanced the legislation earlier today. The bill has prompted infighting within the House GOP, with Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filing a surprise motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson due to the legislation. The package, which runs more than 1,000 pages, would provide funding for the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, State and the legislative branch. Lawmakers have until midnight to approve the bill to avoid a partial government shutdown. House Republicans and Democrats have provided summaries of whats in the bill. The package includes: * Nearly $62 billion in total discretionary resources for Homeland Security, which was the most contentious of the appropriation bills that lawmakers were negotiating. * $824 billion for defense, an increase of nearly $27 billion from fiscal year 2023. * More than $58 billion for state, foreign operations and related programs, a decrease of more than $3 billion from the prior fiscal year. * $79 billion for the Department of Education, which is $500 million less than the prior fiscal year. The amount is $22 billion more than House Republicans proposed, but $11 billion less than the administration's budget request. * $26 billion for financial services and general government, a decrease of $1 billion, or 4%, from the prior fiscal year. * Nearly $14 billion for the Labor Department, which is $145 million below the prior fiscal years level. The amount is nearly $5 billion more than House Republicans proposed. * More than $117 billion for HHS. That would be $14 billion more than House Republicans proposed, but $12 billion below Bidens budget request. * Nearly $7 billion for the legislative branch, $150 million below the last fiscal years level. It would maintain support for an operating budget for congressional offices and would provide funding to pay interns. Magas don't want to fund border agencies so they can campaign on the border
Looking at it, this does seem like a pretty big compromise by Dems. If you look, nearly everything is lower this year than last, and several billion short of what the White House asked for.
