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.

    Oh, we voted, we just didn’t vote for the candidate that you preferred. Those that chose not to vote voiced their opinion that they have cast a vote of no confidence.

    Any politician that is not listening to their constituents like Biden and Harris did not do, are not deserving of a vote. If they’re not going to listen to us, they are not representing us in government.
