Senate appropriators had barely begun work on Tuesday before the process blew up, mired in disagreements over abortion-related “poison pills” and funding for domestic programs and Trump’s border wall
Senate appropriators had barely begun work on Tuesday before the process blew up, mired in disagreements over abortion-related “poison pills” and funding for domestic programs and President Donald Trump’s border wall.
“Title X has always had strong bipartisan support, so I'm unclear why they fear voting on it now,” Murray told POLITICO. Appropriators earlier Tuesday had easily approved in subcommittee the $695 billion fiscal 2020 Defense spending bill, which would boost funding for F-35 aircraft. Democrats think the proposed allocation for the Department of Homeland Security, which the GOP aide didn’t disclose, is too high. And they’re objecting to a lack of protections in the Defense bill that would prevent Trump from diverting funds to build a border wall.
The budget deal signed by Trump last month, H.R. 3877 , included a handshake agreement that both sides avoid overly partisan policy provisions that could threaten upheaval of the appropriations process. But without any real teeth enforcing that pledge, it’s unclear if both sides will stick to it.
