Why the CRomnibus is called the CRomnibus

‘Why it’s called “the CRomnibus”: The bill is being referred to on the Hill as the “CRomnibus”. That’s because it’s a mash-up of an omnibus bill, which is how Congress funds the government when things are working normally, and a continuing resolution (CR), which is how Congress funds the government when it can’t come to a deal. In this case, the CR only affects the Department of Homeland Security, which, as mentioned before, will see its funding expire in February.’
