16 hours of reading of Trump's budget in the Senate
Donald Trump's budget is now ready to be debated in the Senate - after 16 hours of reading, writes CBS News.
Democrats had requested that the 940-page text be read aloud in an attempt to delay the process. When the controversial budget is now to be debated, Democrats, who are very critical of the content, are expected to use the 10 hours allocated to the parties. How much time Republicans are expected to use is unclear, writes CNN.
The senators will then vote on several amendments, and there are no limits on how many amendments can be presented.

Musk vs. Trump
Trump: Musk is wonderful but said inappropriate things
Elon Musk is a "wonderful" and "smart" guy, but he got upset and said things that were "inappropriate," Donald Trump tells Fox News about the big fight with his former gunman.
When asked if the president thinks the Tesla boss was upset because he didn't get his way, Trump replies that it was "tough" for Musk that the environmental bonus on electric cars was abolished.
- I don't want everyone to have electric cars, Trump says in the interview.
