The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill to fund federal government agencies through September.
"I have been blessed to represent the great state of Alabama for 36 years in the Senate, and it is my hope that I have left the state better than I found it," Shelby added. "I look forward to witnessing the results of this funding and the state’s continued growth as a private citizen in just a few short weeks. Thank you, Alabama. Serving you has been the honor of my lifetime."
"We will not have recorded votes until at the earliest 9 a.m. ET tomorrow," Hoyer said, adding: "As soon as we get the documents to process on the floor we will proceed as quickly as possible." Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Montana Sen. Jon Tester offered an amendment of their own related to the border and Title 42, which appeared to break the logjam related to amendments.A number of other amendments were considered, including one from Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson which would cut all earmarks from the bill — which also failed.The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, offered by Louisiana Sen.
The bill, which runs for 4,155 pages, includes about $772.5 billion for non-defense, discretionary programs and $858 billion for defense and would finance agencies through September. Examples include a provision from Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., that bans TikTok on government cell phones due to security concerns. Another provision supported by the Maine delegation was added to aid the state's lobster and Jonah crab fisheries, delaying regulations proposed to help save endangered North Atlantic right whales.
“Giving us a bill at 1:28 in the morning, that's over 4,000 pages, that nobody will have an opportunity to read, that we'll have no idea what's in it, is not the way to run your personal life, your business life or your government," said Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. “This has to stop."
