Surprise! Because the shit sandwich wasn’t shitty enough, they also snuck a federal ban on hemp products into the funding bill.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"
