What's in the bill
The sweeping government spending bill, known on Capitol Hill as the omnibus, is the product of months of negotiations, but the sprawling legislative text, which runs 2,741 pages, was not released until around 1:30 a.m. ET Wednesday, just hours before House leaders initially planned to try to pass it through the chamber, leaving little time for lawmakers to review the measure.
That has led to complaints from lawmakers who felt rushed and unable to adequately vet the measure before a final vote.

There was widespread support from both parties, however, for the infusion of much-needed aid to Ukraine as the country fights back against a deadly and unprovoked Russian assault.
The omnibus consists of a series of fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills to keep the government running in addition to emergency supplemental funding for Ukraine.
Of the $13.6 billion in aid to Ukraine, money is set aside for humanitarian, defense and economic assistance. The bill also includes provisions for sanctions enforcement.
The emergency aid package sets aside $4 billion to help refugees who have fled or were displaced within the country and increase the President's authority for defense equipment transfer to Ukraine and other allied nations to $3 billion, according to a fact sheet from the House Appropriations Committee.

Among a wide range of other provisions, the omnibus will also reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act and implement cybersecurity initiatives, Pelosi and Schumer announced Wednesday.

McConnell criticized Democrats over the episode in remarks on the Senate floor Thursday.
"Until 24 hours ago, this compromise was also going to reprogram money away from Democrats' wasteful spending spree that neglected Covid needs, and reallocate it to vaccines and treatments for the American people," McConnell said. "But House Democrats mutinied against Speaker Pelosi. The far left would rather preserve state and local bureaucrats' giant slush funds than fund vaccines and therapeutics for our citizens. So, the Covid component has fallen out."
