A coalition of liberal Democrats is now flexing its muscles on the upcoming government spending bill. “We believe we’ll get it in the omnibus (spending) bill because both Republicans and Democrats want it,” Schumer said.

The administration submitted its third disaster spending request to Congress late last week: $44 billion.
