As the title says a bipartisan budget deal seems to have been reached. Multiple sources:

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/30/budget-deal-congress-shutdown-237822

The deal delivers $15 billion in new defense spending to fight terrorism sought by President Donald Trump, with $2.5 billion of that contingent on Trump presenting a strategy to defeat the Islamic State to Congress, the aides said. It also distributes $1.5 billion in new border security spending aimed at repairing existing infrastructure and increasing technology, though it does not allocate any new money to a Southern border wall with Mexico despite the president's insistence.

Democrats were seeking a permanent commitment to funding Obamacare's subsidies for low-income Americans' insurance as well as more money to fill Puerto Rico's Medicaid coffers; instead the Trump administration is only indefinitely funding the Obamacare subsidies and Puerto Rico's Medicaid solution mostly relies on redistributing existing accounts.

Basic rundown
-No wall
-Increased funding for NIH
-Indefinite payment extension for ACA
-More money for border security

I'm tired of winning if old

UPDATE: Per Bloomberg: Notably, agencies Trump has sought to eliminate, like the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Appalachian Regional Commission, would get modest increases in funding instead.

Seems to be a all-around maintaining of budget course for the time being, with the GOP likely believing they will have the political capital to make cuts aligning to the White House's framework at the end of the fiscal year once this budget expires.

If he hasn't already, can't wait to read more Trump tweets about the "failing" checks and balances of the government hindering his ability to ram through his campaign promises.

This a Democrat win? Looks like it but I'm still shell shocked

My heart, it feels hope and relief.

there is something to like and something to dislike for everyone

except Trump and Ryan

do note that "indefinite" is meant to be taken literally -- we don't know how long before Trump starts his threats up again

 

[How About No]

muahhahahhaha get cucked you fuck

 

[Phrozenflame500]

The border wall's never going to happen. No popular nor congressional support.

 

[Slayven]

except Trump and Ryan

So basically a budget?

 

[Nappuccino]

Here's hoping that 1.5 bill for border security isn't shifted into some border wall account. Other than my concern there, this seems pretty rosy.

edit: Billion--I can't read.

 

[sangreal]

So basically a budget?

right, exactly

Here's hoping that 1.5 mill for border security isn't shifted into some border wall account. Other than my concern there, this seems pretty rosy.

it probably will be, but $1.5B wouldn't get you a wall across rhode island let alone the Mexican border

what the fuck

how?

That's one way to save $2.5 billion.

with the way that they salivate at the prospect of defunding planned parenthood this feels quite victorious

 

[Meowster]

Really (pleasantly) shocked. Ryan and Trump take an L. I was worried there would be a government shutdown and my job would be at risk. Glad this seemed to work out for everyone... for now.

Anything works against the world's shittiest negotiator.

 

[Quixzlizx]

how?

Republicans are more gun-shy about causing a government shutdown now that they control everything.

The shackles of power.

A government construction project can't even get impact studies for 1.5 mil

Well you asked..

What does that mean exactly?
