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.

      you have 10 people at a table with 1 nazis, you have 11 nazis. that’s how it works. either you oppose them, or you join them. Silently keeping your head down is not an option.

      we’re rapidly approaching the whole point where they conceived of the second amendment being necessary.

        1000% agree. I have a family member that was saying we need to work together. She’s getting her masters in social work to work high level on the homeless crisis. She got super missed when I called her out on that. Few weeks latter she loses her grant thanks to doge and then she gets double pissed when I point out they did exactly what they said they would do. Fuck Nazis.
