Senate ready to stay up all night to pass GOP budget over objections from Democrats - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : With little power in the minority to stop the onslaught, Democrats will instead use the all-night debate to force GOP senators into potentially embarrassing votes -- including the first one, on blocking tax breaks to billionaires.
57% : First up from Democrats will be a vote to prevent tax breaks for billionaires, according to a person familiar with the planning and granted anonymity to discuss it.
55% : Schumer launched a strategy earlier this week to use this first budget debate to focus on both the implications of the tax policy and also the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, which is slashing across the federal government.
54% : Trump has preferred what he calls one "big, beautiful bill," but the White House is open to the Senate's strategy of working on the border package first, then turning to tax cuts later this year.
47% : " The package that senators are pushing forward is what Republicans view as a down-payment on Trump's agenda, part of a broader effort that will eventually include legislation to extend some $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and other priorities.
41% : Democrats argue that the GOP tax cuts approved in 2017 flowed to the the wealthiest Americans, and extending them as Trump wants Congress to do later this year would extend the giveaway.
25% : Senator John Barrasso, R-Wyo., the No. 2-ranking Senate Republican, said GOP lawmakers are acting quickly to get the administration the resources they have requested and need to curb illegal border crossings.
