US Senate underway with exhaustive budget and tax debate

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : Trump is pushing hard for Republicans, who narrowly control both chambers of Congress, to hand him what he calls "one big beautiful bill" that also would pay for additional resources for securing the southwestern U.S. border with Mexico and to deport immigrants.
39% : "We will lay the case for how Republicans will plan to destroy Medicaid as we know it.
31% : " Another concerned lawmaker was Republican Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri, who said he voted to proceed after he spoke with Trump on Thursday evening on potential Medicaid benefit cuts.
27% : Democrats were expected to offer scores of amendments, all or nearly all of which Republicans will likely rebuff, that deal with stopping cuts to Medicaid, the federal healthcare program for low-income households and the disabled, as well as ones dealing with veterans, Social Security retirement benefits and trade tariffs imposed unilaterally by Trump that have put financial markets into a tailspin.
