[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 77592376, member: 294566"] [HEADING=2][URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/03/08/government-shutdown-senate-funding-bill/']Senate moves slowly toward passing spending bill as deadline nears[/URL][/HEADING] The $459 billion spending bill passed the House on Wednesday and is widely expected to pass the Senate, as well — whenever lawmakers vote on it. That move had been expected earlier Friday, but some conservatives slowed down the march toward final passage to demand votes on various amendments. Throughout Friday afternoon, a parade of far-right lawmakers took to the Senate floor to protest the legislation, which they said did not do enough to cut federal spending and lacked policy wins that conservatives on both sides of the Capitol demanded. Other conservatives proposed amendments or refused to accede to requests from Senate leadership in both parties to cut off time for debate and allow a vote. The Senate agreed to allow votes on four of the amendments before the vote on passage. [/QUOTE]
