Democrats Are Pretty Happy With Trump?s Wall-Free Budget - Vocativ
On Sunday night, Congress was able to reach a deal that appears to be a major compromise on many of Trump’s demands. The budget has not yet been released to the public, but according to NBC News, it would allocate an additional $12.5 billion for defense spending, which is still $18 billion less than Trump wanted (it could increase to $15 billion if Trump gives Congress a plan to fight ISIS, which should be no problem for him, as he has frequently boasted of having a secret plan to do just that). It gives $1.5 billion to border security, but that’s half of the $3 billion Trump wanted and does not fund the wall. It will increase funding to the National Institutes of Health even though the preliminary partial budget Trump released in March called for decreasing NIH spending. It only cuts the Environment Protection Agency’s budget by one percent and won’t cut government funding to Planned Parenthood at all. It also does not cut funding to sanctuary cities, another big Trump threat. And it provides funding to local law enforcement agencies that have had to spend millions to protect various Trump family members in their jurisdictions.

The mass protest ― coordinated by labor, immigration and other progressive groups ― served as another early test of the grassroots momentum against the new White House and its right-wing policies. It came on the heels of a climate march that drew tens of thousands to Washington on Saturday.
Backers of the May Day protests saw the day as an ideal opportunity to challenge the Trump administration over its immigration crackdown. The president has promised to ramp up deportations of undocumented workers, strip federal funding from so-called sanctuary cities, and build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
