Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Senate Approps Vice Chair Murray (D-WA): “It’s good that we were able to produce a much-improved CR to keep the government funded and avert a shutdown that no one wants…Because of Democrats’ unrelenting efforts, this bill blocks implementation of OMB’s corrupt new grants rule for the duration of the CR.” Parent Post: Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins (R-ME) highlights the bipartisan work on the CR & its contents: “I worked with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to craft this stopgap funding measure… I am grateful for the work of my colleagues; this CR is a major step toward averting a damaging shutdown that only harms vital programs and federal workers.” https://x.com/CraigCaplan/status/2084083917850640715
