Summary

Congressional Republicans are quietly concerned about Trump’s deep budget cuts, which are impacting red states, but few are openly opposing them.

Cuts to energy projects, medical research, and food aid programs have alarmed some GOP lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Katie Britt.

Meanwhile, Trump and Elon Musk continue dismantling federal agencies, drawing legal challenges.

While some Republicans attempt to redirect funding, they remain hesitant to challenge Trump directly, fearing political repercussions.
