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.

What is White House email address where you can send a protest of this bill

Man this looks like Cromnibus all over again.

• Where is the wall money?
• Why are the DACAns still here?
• Why is president Trump shuffling the deck with his legal team rather than Humpty Dumpty Hillary?

It doesn't take a stable genius to see this is a terrible deal

[Rastus]

He’s been touting it all afternoon via the White House twitter account. He’s done.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The GOP Senate, that bastion of conservative values, will build a firewall and put a stop to this bill! /s

[piasa]

Anything with the word bipartisan attached to it means “Screw the constitution, screw the future, full speed ahead”

[piasa]

I doubt anyone’s gotten through it since they just posted the thing

[Rome2000]

Calm down junior.

[Wolfie]

In particular the business one Will gernerste so much growth it will dwarf all this silly handwringing over debts

I suppose there's a first time for everything.

[fella]

This time next year the impeachment will be over. Shouldn’t take the Dims more than a week with a streight line party vote.

The Kalefornization of America.

“Compromise” That means Democrats got what they wanted, conservatives left out again.

That is exactly what it means.

The left never has to compromise.

They just killed the chances of Republicans in the fall.

Who wants to vote for change that NEVER comes? I know I don't.

THANKS FOR KILLING OUR SPIRIT YOU BUMS

[ssfromla]

STOP THE MADNESS! WE’VE HAD IT WITH YOU

[ssfromla]

Hell if we are going to get Democrat communism ,let’s just vote DEMOCRAT

And donate to them too so we can BUY favors. They give their constituents' something in return for their money and votes. /sarc /hatred

[ssfromla]

Shumer is out saying....we got what we wanted.....The opioid crisis....Anyone else see this opioid hysteria just another money and liberty grab?

The majority of those deaths are from HEROIN.

Who here knows how heroin is getting in our country? Yes, those clowns that are supposed to be guarding our borders from drugs and illegals. They are corrupt but no one is going after them and the truth about the opioid "crisis".

I'm sick of them and the media are playing dumb on us.
