Senate Approves $340 Billion Border Security Budget, Facing House GOP Opposition

Senate Republicans passed a $340 billion budget resolution in an all-night vote-a-rama, emphasizing border security ($175B), defense ($150B), and energy priorities, securing a 52-48 party-line victory. This budget could directly affect 72 million Americans on Medicaid as House Republicans plan cuts amounting to hundreds of billions over the next decade while extending $4.5 trillion in tax cuts from the Trump era.
