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.

    Think of the county as a car driving towards a cliff.

    Republicans want to stomp on the gas and roll coal to trigger libs.

    Sure, Democrats UNDERSTAND the “concerns” of pollution and driving off a cliff, but they also have to be sensitive to the desires of their oil donors and constituents that work in refineries, so they feel obligated to reach across the aisle to push the gas a little to keep $XOM over $100.

    The news blames the Dems for the car slowing down. No one wants to rock the boat by stopping the car from going off the cliff. Attack anyone that considered reversing for being a socialist because capitalism needs us to buy a new car after we crash this one.

    Leftists and the third world are in the trunk.
