Trump's "Disgusting Abomination" -- Senate GOP likely to pass monstrosity today [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Senate Republicans are likely to pass Trump’s catastrophic budget bill, which, among other gems, will impose massive Medicaid Cuts, slash funding for renewable energy sources and clean energy programs while simultaneously showering fossil fuel sources will billions of dollars in giveaways and grotesquely expand offshore drilling, and increases funding for ICE by a staggering (at least) 15 times (provides $45 billion, up from ICE’s current annual budget of $3 billion) All to pay for tax cuts which will primarily benefit the Elon Musks of the world.
This bill will do hurt millions of people, and will do immense harm to this country, for years.
Senate Republicans are also making a mockery of this whole process buy using an idiotic budget gimmick to laughingly claim that their abomination will “only” add $440 billion dollars to the deficit, rather than the more than the $3 TRILLION that nonpartisan, objective sources — and the traditional way the Senate has used of accounting such things — have found.
The Senate has started what is called a Voterama, where Democrats can offer as many amendments as they want. This process will likely last several hours.
Will try to add a compilation of Democratic takes on this monstrosity a little later.
