The deal, rolled out Sunday afternoon, would keep the government funded through Dec. 20 to buy time to hash out a funding agreement for the rest of fiscal 2025.
The roughly three-month timeline is the preferred duration of Democrats and Republican defense hawks.
It comes after a bill containing a six-month stopgap, the time frame sought by conservatives, failed on the House floor
...
Secret Service
The bill includes $231 million in funding for the Secret Service in the wake of the apparent second assassination attempt against Trump.
The proposed funding for the Secret Service comes as the acting director, Ronald Rowe, has pushed for more resources for the agency.
SAVE Act
The bill unveiled Sunday excludes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, despite Trump urging the party to fight to get the bill enacted this month, even if it means a shutdown.
Submarine funding
Funding for the Virginia Class Submarine program that was included in the earlier GOP-backed plan is absent from the new stopgap plan.
The previous plan sought to appropriate about $2 billion to the Defense Department for the “shipbuilding and conversion” for the program. Aides said Sunday the funding fell out, however, after a “joint conversation” between appropriators, defense officials and the Biden administration.
VA shortfall
The bill also fails to address what the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has warned is a potential $12 billion shortfall facing the agency for fiscal 2025, despite pressure from Democrats.
However, the 46-page bill features a number of health care extensions for the VA, including measures appropriators say would extend its authority to provide nursing care to veterans with “service-connected disabilities,” as well as the authority for the joint Department of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund.
FEMA funding
The three-month stopgap excludes $10 billion in additional funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) disaster relief fund that was previously included in House Republicans’ initial six-month plan. But it does allow the agency to use the fund’s resources faster for disaster response for the roughly three-month span.
“We made a joint decision to address, because it’s going to be a two and a half month CR, the disaster side with no additional disaster money,” the aides said Sunday
Repukes never negotiated any deal that didn’t benefit the RATS. They’re perpetual gutless wonders.
Would a shutdown help or hurt Trump going into November?
How much $$$ is this “deal” going to cost?
I predict with a good degree of certainty that the final omnibus bill won't be passed until at least March of next year six months into the fiscal year
I’m a 100% disabled vet. The VA issue will affect a LOT of veterans like myself who depend on the VA.
Trump did so much for the VA during his term. The DemocRATs just don’t care about service people the way he does.
And the threat of shut-down only demonstrates that government spending is out of control. I’m not sure what can be done about that.
Jeez. The Virginia subs are one of those things that needs tax money the most. Argh
“...FEMA funding...”
This is the agency that puppet Biden is using to pay for the millions of diseased, illiterate, unskilled, dangerous illegal aliens flooding the country.
It sure is a flood and a disaster. /spit
Sigh.
There is NO such thing as a government shutdown.
Fedzilla deems anything Deep State want to continue running as “essential” and it keeps running.
Anything closed is something Deep State chooses to use to bring the pain to the public.
See how that works?

Once again, failure pays better in American government.
The DemocRATs just don’t care about service people...unless they're helping push their emasculation agenda like that freak who defiles an Admiral's uniform.
And with 3 billion dollars already the Secret Service's problem isn't funding - it's management and it's failure to stay above partisanship (Mayorkis).

If he condemns it and talks about “compromise”, “fully funding essential services” ,etc., etc. He’ll suffer no harm. Americans broadly do not care about budget deficits. They may grumble in passing about them, but if you suggest cutting off ANY money to them specifically through a cut, they will go ballistic.
What would that be?

Johnson is a sell out. Talks talk, doesn’t walk walk.
