Understanding Congress’s Billionaire Budget

FEATURING LINDSAY KOSHGARIAN - Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer joined forces with President Donald Trump on March 13, 2025 to pass one of the most reactionary federal budgets in recent memory. 

According to Mother Jones, the bill “cuts non-defense spending by $13 billion and increases defense spending by approximately $6 billion.” It also includes “a 44 percent cut to Army Corps of Engineers projects, which build and maintain essential infrastructure; and more than $3 billion in cuts to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s community development, rental assistance, and homelessness services programs.”
