How Democrats Plan To Make Republicans Squirm On Tax Cuts, DOGE
www.huffpost.com
Democrats view the coming fights over President Trump's agenda as an opportunity to put his party on the defensive and damage the president's political standing.

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.
