On Capitol Hill, the U.S. Senate is taking up President Trump’s sweeping budget this week. The bill, which just squeaked through the Republican-led House last month, seeks to make permanent Trump’s 2017 tax giveaways for the wealthy, while gutting essential social programs including Medicaid and food assistance. Some Republican senators are calling for even steeper spending cuts in the bill and have opposed its impact on the national debt. Meanwhile, Democrats could call on the Senate parliamentarian to rule against key measures of the package, including the longer-term impact on the deficit. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also said Democrats would challenge a provision that would limit judges from enforcing contempt citations.
