On Capitol Hill, lawmakers have reached a deal on a $1 trillion spending bill that will keep the government funded through September. The bill does not include a number of Trump’s key promises. For example, it does not include any cuts to sanctuary cities or Planned Parenthood and includes a smaller cut to the Environmental Protection Agency than promised. The bill also does not include any money to go to Trump’s proposed expanded border wall, while it actually increases funding for the National Institutes of Health. It also includes nearly $300 million in funding for Puerto Rico’s Medicaid program.
