Senate Republicans unveiled a crucial piece of the puzzle in their bid to reopen the government, and plan to plow ahead with a vote on Sunday.
While both sides still appear at an impasse on extending expiring Obamacare subsidies, appropriators moved ahead with a package of spending bills that Republicans hope will jumpstart the government funding process, and lead to an end to the 40-day government shutdown.
The Senate Appropriations Committee released the three-bill spending package, known as a minibus, Sunday afternoon. Lawmakers are still waiting on text for an updated continuing resolution (CR), that, if passed, is expected to reopen the government until late January.
It includes legislation that would fund military construction and the VA, the legislative branch and agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.
