Congress’s new omnibus spending bill to avert a government shutdown

House Republicans have released a new omnibus government spending bill, which must pass by Friday to avert another government shutdown in 2018.

The $1.3 trillion spending bill, which would fund the government through September 30, is the culmination of months of negotiations. Republicans and Democrats agreed on the budget levels back in February, when they passed their most recent short-term spending bill, but this week’s agreement would finalize the numbers for the remainder of the fiscal year.

The omnibus bill would increase domestic spending by $128 billion over the 2011 sequestration budget caps and increase military spending by $160 billion over the budget caps.

Congress looks likely to butt right up against its deadlines. The House isn’t expected to vote on the spending deal until Thursday at the earliest, leaving just one more day for the Senate to act.

Can you please identify the part where it involves DACA I think everyone is aware of the spending bill please and thank you .

Nevermind. Wrong section. The bill does not address a commitment to a DACA solution.

"Dozens of House Dems are likely to vote against the omnibus spending bill if the final deal does not include a commitment to address DACA. "

I wipe my ass with their commitments. They are worthless.

It looks like a deal has been reached, with Democrats sounding pretty darned happy about it. Paul Ryan also seems upbeat. But what, exactly, will this monster of a spending snowball include? Details are just beginning to emerge, but thus far it looks like Obamacare doesn't receive funding, and DACA has not been addressed -- but President Trump got at least some of his border security money

Seems like no DACA deal in the omnibus bill.
