Senate GOP approves framework for Trump’s tax breaks and spending cuts after late-night session

The Senate approved a budget framework for tax cuts and spending by a vote of 51-48, mostly along party lines, amidst dissent from two Republicans.
Democrats aim to make the approval process challenging by proposing amendments to protect key social programs from budget cuts.
Republicans argue that the plan prevents tax increases for most families and builds on previous tax cuts from 2017 that are set to expire.
The Senate's package includes funding for mass deportation efforts and military buildup, while the House version proposes different tax breaks and budget cuts.
