@ChrisVannini @dougherty_jesse Or the Clink.

@BarredinDC Gonzaga v the WCC

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

@AUStinAirport Yes, it is.

[Seung Min Kim @seungminkim]

For approps nerds, I'm told the tentative deal on cuts are essentially based on 302(a) allocations, NOT 302(b). So in theory can cut spending out of Labor-H, etc.

But the reported $75B amount is so big that you might not be able to do it all out of non-defense discretionary.

OMNIBUS PASSES -- 225-201-1

THE 1.7T package is going to Biden's desk

Govt funded till 9/30/2023

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

🚨🚨 THE SENATE has passed the omnibus, 68-29.

A large bipartisan vote for the spending bill, which keeps government funded through Sept. 30, 2023.

House has to pass the bill. Senate added a good deal to the bill today so it will take a while to process and get to the House.

@a_cravalho Also, isn’t that the entire point of moving conferences? We need stronger competition.

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

@mhbaskin Also missing from this conversation- Congress's role. Disinvestment from the public housing program has created an over $70 billion backlog in deferred maintenance to properties nationwide. PHAs didn't create this problem.

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

Ugh. Losing in the 18th inning after a 21 year playoff drought is the most Mariners thing ever.

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

@jzimbabwe I’m at home and I’m pretty sure this is one of the levels of hell. Can’t imagine going through this sober.

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

Did Mariners fans bring extra shoes for their head or are they shoeless at the game?

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

Desperate times desperate measures. Trying the shoe but I still don’t understand it.

[Did The Mariners Win @Didmariners_win]

YES THEY DID. After 7,650 days, the curse has finally been lifted, the Seattle Mariners have DONE IT. PLAYOFF BOUND ARE THESE NERS. WE WILL SEE THE FIRST PLAYOFF GAME IN DIDTHEMARINERSWIN HISTORY. DON’T CALL DON’T TEXT BABY ITS GO TIME ◼️◼️◼️◼️

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

@NAHROnational Clearly I missed my calling as a model.

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

NEWS: House passes 6-bill omnibus #Appropriations bill for new fiscal year beginning Oct. 1

VOTE: 220-207 on HR 3294

Bill provides $405B for programs under 6 bills

Still in flux: Other 6 annual spending bills

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

This is good news- with inflation and rent increases, we expect HUD to need an additional $4-$5 billion just to maintain current services. Assuming the split is at least even, the House bill should at least keep level funding. Again, we'll likely know more later today.

[Tess Hembree @tchembree]

Appropriations news- @AppropsDems approved their spending allocations today, boosting #THUD by $9.9 billion or 12.2%. We don't know how much of that will go to HUD yet, the legislative text should be released later today. The bill goes to subcmte mark-up tomorrow.
