Late Friday, President Trump signed into law a pair of bills that will set line-by-line funding for every agency in the federal government and provide most with a significant funding boost, avoiding a midnight shutdown when current appropriations were set to expire.
The bills will allocate $1.4 trillion: $738 billion to the military and $632 billion to non-defense agencies, increases over fiscal 2019 of $22 billion for the Pentagon and $27 billion for non-defense.
Top lawmakers reached an agreement with the Trump administration last week on the spending after months of negotiations and two continuing resolutions. Appropriators unveiled the two bills—divided into national security and domestic categories—late Monday afternoon. The House approved them on Tuesday and the Senate followed suit late Thursday.
Late Friday Trump tweeted a letter to federal workers thanking them for their "devoted and vigilant efforts" and noting "major improvements" to their compensation contained in the spending bills and the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, also signed into law on Friday.
