What most concerns Democrats is that the stopgap measure does not contain the specific congressional instructions to allocate money for programs usually included in spending bills. Top Democrats, including Senator Patty Murray of Washington, the party’s lead appropriator, have warned that the lack of explicit directions would essentially create slush funds for the Trump administration at a time when it has already disregarded spending directives set by Congress.

Yes. I read that, also.

I would think the senate Dems could have opposed on that basis. "Tell us what we're voting on". Seems like a simple, and reasonable, objection. Handing the Felon a blank check is probably a bad idea.
