I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it’s a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

GovTrack.us posted about the bill in question:
Appropriations legislation covering a bit less than half of the overall funding needs of the federal government was passed by the Senate 75-22 around dinner time on Friday 3/8. The bill was signed the next morning by the President. Even though technically Biden did so after the Friday midnight deadline, the government never shutdown for even a few hours.
The Science section of the bill contains the majority of the Science related appropriations.
GovTrack.us also provided links to summaries of the bill from The New York Times by Catie Edmondson and The American Prospect by David Dayen.
Full text of the bill is linked to in the Senate Appropriations Committee Press Release

Perhaps you notice more from China simply because there are simply more Chinese people in the world than any other nation behind Indian people in India.
