The House Budget Committee made significant progress on Thursday by passing a budget measure that aligns with President Donald Trump's border and tax agenda. The measure aims to unlock trillions of dollars in tax cuts while necessitating substantial cuts from government programs to offset the costs.
Following a lengthy 12-hour debate, the House panel voted 21-16 along party lines to approve the GOP budget blueprint. Republicans dismissed all 32 Democratic amendments, many of which aimed to safeguard programs like Medicaid in light of the proposed cuts.
