House Republicans push Trump-backed bill to avoid shutdown, sparking backlash

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : " The bill's priorities align closely with Trump's agenda, particularly its provisions that could grant the administration broader authority to redirect funds between programs - a power Democrats fear could allow significant reshaping of federal priorities without congressional approval.
46% : The stopgap bill, unveiled by House Republican leadership over the weekend, would fund the government through September and carves $13bn from non-defense spending while adding $6bn to military budgets and preserving a $20bn IRS funding freeze - priorities embraced by Donald Trump but denounced by Democrats as an assault on vulnerable Americans.
31% : That's a hard sell for the Democrats, who are facing intense pressure from within their party and constituency to resist Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk's unilateral cuts to federal agencies, which have eliminated more than 100,000 jobs.
