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.
Their plan is to do nothing, then. They could have been forcing Republicans to vote against popular things for decades now, including during the entire Trump presidency. Without even going into how ineffective this kinda performative bullshit is, why should I expect them to seriously start calling for these votes now?
Americans told democrats to eat shit this past election, then immediately start demanding those same democrats save them from trump, now they’re acting and Americans are still complaining?? You bus really do deserve what you’re getting
