It looks like a deal has been reached, with Democrats sounding pretty darned happy about it.  Paul Ryan also seems upbeat.  But what, exactly, will this monster of a spending snowball include?  Details are just beginning to emerge, but thus far it looks like Obamacare doesn't receive funding, and DACA has not been addressed -- but President Trump got at least some of his border security money:

No DACA fix, no new Obamacare funding, $1.6 billion for border security/fencing, large ⬆️ in military funding, $250m more for school safety, big $ to fight opioid crisis.

Significant across-the-board increases for nearly every domestic agency & program.

How are they going to do it given they blew their chances when Trump offered them MORE than what they demanded ( and all because they don't like the WALL )?

No, both sides have elected to punt and are relying on SCOTUS to bail them out.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

I thought that the SCOTUS already announced that they weren't going to hear the appeal?

No, they ruled they would not bypass the normal appeal process.  They've done that in the past, when lawsuits have been brought over national strikes.  In those cases, they agreed to jump the appeal, so the case could be expedited, because it was considered a national emergency.  A multi-decade invasion of illegals doesn't qualify, I suppose.

No Obamacare Funding - sounds good to me.

No DACA - sounds VERY good to me.

Some Border Security - sumthin' is better than nuthin' (sounds alright).

Get this passed.

No wall. Some border security could mean some additional border agents.  Without a wall, it's futile.

What a joke.  Not funny joke.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
