Senate passes massive government funding package

The Senate voted overwhelmingly Friday to pass a major funding package consisting of five regular appropriations bills and a two-week stopgap measure for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) but the legislation won't become law before parts of the government shut down at midnight. The 71-29 vote caps a week of Senate drama after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, sparking a public backlash against the tactics of federal immigration enforcement officers and pushing Democrats to oppose the DHS funding bill that was part of a six-bill funding package.

"[The bill] provides $20 million in additional spending for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, $85 million more for the Child Care and Development Block Grant and $85 million more for Head Start education, which Democrats touted as big wins."

"Big wins."

$190 million dollars is a "big win" for the American people.

The Trumpf junta wasted $344 million buying warehouses for ICE detention facilities and $496 million deploying the US Army National Guard against us.
