WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans are moving forward with plans for a rejiggered budget resolution that will set different thresholds for federal spending cuts — but still aims to raise the nation’s debt limit by trillions of dollars and pass President Trump’s border, energy and tax priorities by Memorial Day. A House GOP aide told The Post that the “target cuts” for both chambers of Congress will be reconciled — with at least $1. 5 trillion or more in total reduction to government spending in the final draft.
