Senate Officially Sends Funding Bill To Trump's Desk After Dems Cave

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : We're moving forward on the DOGE Act and MAGA agenda for FY26.
45% : However, the upper chamber did pass a stand-alone bill to protect roughly $1.1 billion in funding for Washington, D.C., that the continuing resolution would remove. Paul's offering, which sought to reduce appropriations for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), failed in a 27-37 vote.
36% : The Kentucky Republican had said his amendment would codify the cuts made by the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort overseen by Elon Musk.
35% : Trump has already endorsed the funding patch as a means to keep the government running and later get to his domestic agenda priorities in national defense, border security, and tax cuts.
17% : President Trump doesn't want a shutdown.
