Senate Releases Omnibus Spending Package

The legislation, which would provide $174.5 billion in discretionary funding, is expected to come to the Senate floor this week, and it remains to be seen whether or not Senate leadership will secure the 60 votes needed to eliminate the possibility of a filibuster.
