What is the purpose of the budget resolution being discussed in Congress?

The budget resolution is a legislative mechanism designed to advance President Trump's agenda rather than fund government operations for the year. Led by Congressional Republicans, it aims to fund presidential initiatives around border security, energy, and defense. The Senate version focuses on these priorities, while the House has a broader version that also includes extending Trump's tax cuts and increasing the debt limit. Both chambers will need to reconcile their different versions if the legislation clears the Senate.
