Blame Nancy Pelosi. She injected text to provide money for her crony buddies in Washington D.C. She got called out on it by the media (finally), and reduced the amounts. But she still got plenty of pork in there. She wanted $35 million, "only" got $25 million Pelosi had injected her pet items like $300 million for National Endowment of the Arts, and $300 million for National Endowment of the Humanities, besides $100 million for NASA and $278 million for the IRS.

Also provisions for a federal takeover of elections, a climate change study on aviation, Intrusive corporate diversity reporting burdens, requiring each airline to have a union representative on its board, nullify a variety of executive orders issued by the Trump administration on collective bargaining, airlines would be forced to "offset their carbon emissions and reduce their overall emissions by 50 percent by 2050", expand an FAA program that incentivizes airports to purchase environmentally friendly equipment and create a "cash for clunkers" program, provide $1.2 billion in grants over five years for the production of "sustainable aviation fuels", and more etc.

She also originally wanted $300 million for foreign refugees abroad, an automatic visa extension for all foreign workers, an expansion of foreign-language ballots, and an amnesty for the nearly 700,000 to 800,000 DACA illegal aliens in the country. At least saner minds stopped her from some of her crazy additions.
