Congress Battles $87B Emergency Request

Congress Battles $87B Emergency Request

Published 2 days, 2 hours ago
Description

The administration just dropped a massive $87.6 billion emergency funding request on Congress — covering everything from defense and Ebola response to farming, nuclear energy, D.C. infrastructure, Penn Station upgrades, and even year-round E-15 gasoline. Democrats are pushing back hard, with Senator Patty Murray calling it a bid to fund “disastrous war” spending, while Republican Senator Susan Collins vows to hold hearings to scrutinize the package. With such a sprawling mix of priorities, the fate of this funding is far from certain — and the debate is just beginning.
