Summary
Senate Democrats plan to force Republicans into tough votes on tax cuts and government cuts linked to Trump’s legislative agenda.
They will introduce amendments opposing tax breaks for the wealthy and cuts to programs like education and Medicaid as Republicans push a $325 billion budget resolution.
Democrats also target Elon Musk’s DOGE, which is rapidly cutting federal jobs. Some Republicans express concerns over DOGE’s speed.
Democrats hope these votes will hurt Trump and the GOP ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Honestly, I’m wondering who collapses first- republicans or democrats.
Right now it looks like it’s gonna be dems, because at least half them are willing to sit at the table with fucking Nazis.
They seem to think they can just keep their heads down and it’ll blow over.
They’ve been letting the republicans nibble off bits and bobs for decades and seem to think this bullshit will just end.
The good news is… it will. But first all the immigrants, the lgbtq+ (starting with trans,); all the progressives and educated people will have been killed off.
And no. I’m not exaggerating. That’s the way fascism works. They keep blaming scapegoats until there’s nothing left and then the fascists fracture, blaming each other.
I’m hoping it’s Democrats, than an actual party representing to working class in government can take its place. There’s no room in government for two right wing parties.
