The Democrats of the Senate traced a line in the sand on the budget. Democrats will not accept anything without restrictions on the power of Trump.
Samantha Handler of Punchbowl News published on X:
Murray on toplines: “We are extremely close.” DESMS always push the assurances that Trump Admin will spend the credits that legislators accept.
Update Topline of Collins: “I think we are at a dead end.” Said that “restrictions” on the presidential powers that demons require are generally not carried out in these agreements.
The restrictions on the presidential power have never been necessary because no president in the past 50 years has tried not to spend appropriate funds in the congress in addition to Trump.
The head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer (D-NY), told the Senate:
Donald Trump challenged the rule of law, he ignored the judicial orders, he even imagined a king, while all his billionaire friends have spread by the government as locusts and have put public services that serve Tens of millions of people in danger.
While Elon Musk holds the court in the oval office and meets the heads of state, the HEAD Start programs and the community health centers have seen their funding close.
Donald Trump preaches corruption and fraud, while ridding the government of its independent surveillance dogs and letting Doge go through people’s social security numbers – and even their private and health data data – without practically none railing, no control.
All this chaos is by design.
All this anarchy has a goal.
Everything we saw in the last month of Donald Trump and the Republicans has an end game in mind: undermines the rule of law in order to put more money in the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk.
In addition to the tax reductions for the rich, government funding expires in 24 days, and there is no agreement on a bill to keep the government open.
The Democrats of the Senate slow down the rhythm of the Senate and the grinding of activity.
They make just as difficult as possible for the Senate Republicans, and unless the Republicans hear and check Trump, it is impossible to see the Democrats accept anything on the budget or the financing of the government.
