House Passes Budget Proposal, Advancing Trump's Agenda
The House narrowly adopted a budget proposal on Tuesday, paving the way for President Trump's legislative agenda. The resolution passed with no Democratic support and only one GOP defection.
House Speaker Mike Johnson worked closely with President Trump to secure the necessary votes, with Trump described as a "big help." The budget plan instructs committees to craft legislation that would cut taxes and spending, while raising the debt ceiling.
House Democrats oppose the measure, citing concerns about potential cuts to social programs. However, House Republican leadership has pushed back on these concerns, emphasizing that the budget resolution is simply a starting point for the reconciliation process.
The House vote follows the Senate's adoption of its own budget last week. The Senate plan would divide the reconciliation process into two bills, with the first focusing on border security and defense, and the second tackling tax priorities.
The passage of the budget resolution marks a significant step forward for President Trump's agenda. However, the reconciliation process is still in its early stages, and the final details of the legislation remain to be determined.

I’m tired of leaders prioritizing Trump’s wishes over the common good of our nation.

No Democratic support? That’s because this one-sided proposal ignores the needs of everyday Americans.

It’s insulting to see how little regard they have for programs that help the vulnerable.

Cutting taxes can unlock growth and create opportunities for hardworking citizens—this is the way forward.

The lack of Democratic support simply reaffirms that real change and fiscal discipline are not on their agenda.

This budget proposal is a breath of fresh air—finally addressing inefficiencies that have long plagued our government.

The supposed ‘reconciliation’ here is just a thin veil for policies that widen the income gap and hurt the middle class.

Raising the debt ceiling while cutting essential spending is like tightening your belt while starving yourself.
