Senate adopts $340 billion budget blueprint for Trump's agenda after marathon 'vote-a-rama' - eviltoast
The 52-48 overnight vote puts pressure on the GOP-controlled House, which plans to take up its own competing budget resolution next week.

Summary

The Republican Senate passed a $340 billion budget blueprint aimed at funding President Trump’s priorities, including $175 billion for border enforcement and $150 billion for military expansion, following an extended vote.

The resolution, adopted 52-48, directs committees to identify spending cuts to offset new funding.

It faces debate over its fiscal impact and amendments addressing cuts to Medicaid and tax policies.

The measure now pressures the GOP House to reconcile differences or adopt a fallback plan.

    Because for a party that was screaming at the people that they need to do various things (vote, worry, protest, whatever), Dem party is sickened by inaction. Not even token opposition.

      Emotionally, this makes sense. The people didn’t help them when they asked for it… Would you drag your butt out and fight for those who screwed you over?

      Pragmatically, the mode of operation for MAGA is chaos. Democrats are planners who follow the rules (as we demand). What would you expect them to do with no power, no time, and no support?
