17 Republicans crossed over, defied Trump and joined with Democrats to pass that health care matter in the House.

Now it's going to come to the Senate.

Trump is now whining about how he might have to veto it if and when it passes in the Senate as well, because he definitely wants to make sure that people's health insurance premiums double or triple in cost for nothing other than something that he personally did.

He apparently wants that.

I mean, what we've just seen in Congress is one of the worst rebukes Trump has had from congressional Republicans since he has been back in office this whole disastrous year.

And I got to tell you, this didn't get as much attention as it should, but right on the heels of that biggest rebuke that Trump has had in Congress, those series of decisions, both in the House and the Senate, Republicans crossing over to join with Democrats to rebuke Trump on multiple policy issues, right on the heels of the Senate giving Trump a one-finger salute on Venezuela and the House giving him a one-finger salute on what he did to people's health insurance.

This did not get enough attention, but did you see this?

Look, headline.

Congress is rejecting Trump's steep budget cuts to science.

Lead.

Congress is racing to undo thousands of cuts to federal science programs that President Trump called for last year.

Trump is trying to cut the National Science Foundation 56%.

Congress is now saying they will cut it less than 1%.

Trump wanted to slash NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

You know, the weather.

Congress's budget for NOAA is no cuts to NOAA, flat funding for NOAA.

Trump wants to cut basic research, which has been the lifeblood of American technological innovation since World War II.

Trump wants to cut basic research more than 33%.

Congress instead is bumping up their budget, bumping up the budget for basic research

by more than 2%.
