Dems basically got everything. It's like they control House, Senate, & WH rather than the other way around.twitter.com/RMConservative…
Deal totals just over $1 trillion
Deal allows for an increase of $12.5bn in defense spending, which is 18bn less than Trump requested. However, if Trump makes strides with Isis, an addition 2.5bn will be made available.
Includes permanent fix to fund coal miners' health care instead of a temporary extension.
Democrats win: There will be no wall funding; instead Trump will get $1.5bn in border security funds, which is half the original request; it will be used to support existing infrastructure.
Democrats win again: Puerto Rico will receive an emergency injection for Medicaid health insurance supports
Democrats win again2: Planned Parenthood, a key issue for Democrats, will be saved from cuts, while the National Institute of Health will see a $2bn hike in funding.
Democrats win again3: Cuts in the Environmental Protection Agency appear avoided for the remainder of the year.
Democrats win again4: The omnibus funds California high speed rail
Additionally as Bloomberg adds, "Republicans failed to get a number of conservative provisions in the bill, including one that would have blocked the Labor Department’s fiduciary rule limiting financial advice to retirees."
Also snuck inbetween the cracks there’s also a new $100 million fund to counter Russian influence in Europe.

When are the Republicans stand up to these bullies?
Once again the whole truth is not being told by the media. Did anyone happen to catch the White House Press briefing today, this was the best one I have ever seen it was well worth watching to see the reporters put in their places. What I heard is The Wall is going to be built,the media can spin it anyway they want but President Trump has the right cabinet members to put this country back on the right track.
But then again if you did not want to see this briefing you had a choice today you could watch Hillary Clinton complain about what caused her to lose the election over on the other stations.
Think people reading this article better go to the top and read what Mulvaney said today at 1:59PM from the White House. Most of this article is FALSIFIED by Democrats.
Then there's the Rest of the story...watch the press briefing from today...this was a good move all the way around. In 5 more months the new real budget will be presented and passed...
3:24 and 5:30...spot on. I heard the briefing too and am looking forward to September as well.
Repubilchikens ain't gonna do nothing they are scared to death of the democrats and the media even though they have all the power. What a bunch of WHIMPS led by that incompetent RINO Paul Ryan. If the democrats want to shut the government down then let them shut it down and suffer the consequences, screw them.
