WASHINGTON (AP) — The House easily approved a bipartisan $1.3 trillion spending bill Thursday that pours huge sums into Pentagon programs and domestic initiatives ranging from building roads to combatting the nation's opioid abuse crisis, but left Congress in stalemate over shielding young Dreamer immigrants from deportation and curbing surging health insurance premiums.
The vote was 256-167, a one-sided tally that underscored the popularity of a budget deal among party leaders that provided enough money to address many of both sides' priorities. Further highlighting how eager lawmakers were to claim victories, the House approved the 2,232-page package — which stood around a foot tall on some legislators' desks — less than 17 hours after negotiators released it publicly.
The next step was Senate passage, which was assured.

Party baby party. Till it all burns down.
no problem with military spending but wasn’t the entire objective of this Republican congress to end the DACA and Zerocare and build the wall?

Line Item Veto, Mr. President, Line Item Veto
“Compromise” That means Democrats got what they wanted, conservatives left out again.
No such thing as a line item veto in the federal government.
No one even read it?
We have lost all semblance of representative government. Our representative pass what ever they are told to pass with out hearings or even reading the damned law!! Trump reneged on the wall flat, No excuse. This is the most tragic day since 911. I just stopped voting. Never again.
FOAD Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnel, et al...
Speaker Paul Rino is one of the biggest lying frauds of our lifetime. A complete phony through and through.
Where can I see if my congress critter voted for steaming pile of $hit?
They must have an alternative dictionary, because Compromise is not the word they were looking to use - believe Surrender is the correct term.
And, in the Senate, we can only expect further Rat progress.
SHUT IT DOWN!!!
“Compromise” That means Democrats got what they wanted, conservatives left out again.
The republican that wrote this monstrosity should be tar and feathered and run out of town!!! No republicans should have voted for this.. I think the Republicans will lose the House and Now Trump will be impeached! If they lose the house..
Hell if we are going to get Democrat communism ,let’s just vote DEMOCRAT!! This wouldn’t have been worse with Hillary. Republicans and Trump are finished. Rush Limbaugh said today in part that this sell out has “massive consequences” in that a huge segment of the base is walking away.This is far greater than when George Bush lied to us about “no new taxes” Here we are talking about a fundamental building block in the last election and the very security of this nation. Instead of vetoing this POC, Trump jumps to the Democrat side!! I just cancelled his twitter and I am done.
No wall, no deal. I do not see why republicans should vote for anyone who supports this.
No such thing as a line item veto in the federal government.
You’re right! In the 1990’s Congress gave Bill Clinton line item veto and the Democrats took to the courts and it was overturned by the Supreme Court. So no line item veto.. I say veto the bill make the republicans scramble to get another..
..I say veto the bill make the republicans scramble to get another..
Now that would be MAGA.
Anything else is business as usual.
“Line Item Veto, Mr. President, Line Item Veto”
A simple veto will hopefully do fine.
