WASHINGTON — Negotiators in the U.S. Congress on Tuesday said they had reached agreement on funding the government through the end of its current fiscal year, as lawmakers scampered to meet a midnight Friday deadline when existing funds expire.

They did not say how much money they had agreed on, providing no details in statements from three key appropriations negotiators, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, Republican Senator Richard Shelby and Democratic Representative Rosa DeLauro.

“If all goes well, we should be able to finish an omnibus appropriations package by Dec. 23,” Shelby said in a statement.

The news came hours after the House began moving a stopgap spending bill to avoid a partial shutdown that would otherwise begin on Friday, providing time to pass the sweeping full-year bill, which was expected to include more than $1.5 trillion in funding and will run through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, 2023.

Oh were you excited for the new GOP majority to force concessions out of Democrats on border funding? Mitch McConnell is going to take away their power to do that and then give you another lecture about candidate quality.

Republicans took back the House and Mitch McConnell is on the verge of rewarding them by allowing Democrats to pass an omnibus spending bill that would take away the new GOP majority's power over government spending for an entire year.

...statements from three key appropriations negotiators, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, Republican Senator Richard Shelby and Democratic Representative Rosa DeLauro.

So where are the republican "negotiators/sellouts"?  Were the socialists negotiating with themselves?
