House and Senate top appropriators have reached a bipartisan, bicameral framework agreement for FY22 federal spending. House Approps Chair DeLauro: "I am pleased we have reached agreement on a framework which will allow our subcmtes to get to work finalizing an omnibus."
Senate Approps Chair Leahy: "In any successful negotiation, both sides have to compromise, and this agreement is no different...I look forward to crafting a bill that will receive strong support in both Chambers in the coming weeks.”
With Senate plans to vote on House-passed 3-week CR prior to February 18th deadline to avert a gov't shutdown, House and Senate will now work on the details of framework agreement in the hopes of passing an omnibus spending package before the new March 11th deadline.

McConnell: "Tolerating lawlessness and anarchy is not compassionate. It doesn’t help vulnerable communities for politicians to passively watch them devolve into war zones."
McConnell: "It is not compassionate to let vulnerable kids grow up in war zones because Democrats feel guilty putting violent criminals behind bars where they belong."
