Appropriators unveiled a $1.7 trillion fiscal 2023 spending bill early Tuesday morning, a measure lawmakers are scrambling to pass before government funding runs out on Friday.
The so-called omnibus covers the dozen annual spending bills for every federal agency. It provides $858 billion in defense funding and $772.5 billion for nondefense, domestic programs, according to a release from the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Leahy’s Republican counterpart in the Senate, Appropriations Committee Vice Chairman Richard Shelby , tweeted early Tuesday that the negotiations were “far from perfect, but ultimately it allowed Republican redlines to be adhered to.” “The administration wanted to cut funding for our armed forces after inflation while massively increasing spending on nondefense. Republicans have taken the president’s bizarre position and flipped it on its head,” McConnell said on the Senate floor on Monday.
“We are pleased that our legislation has been included in the omnibus appropriations bill and are grateful to have the support of so many of our colleagues. We look forward to seeing this bill signed into law,” the senators said in a joint statement.Sen. Josh Hawley's bill to prohibit the use of TikTok on federal government devices made it into the massive package after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed support for its inclusion in the omnibus.
