The two Independent Senator's in the Senate should not count toward the Democrats. They ran and got elected as (I) not (D).The Republican Party holds the real majority in the Senate.
They can caucus with each other and not count as (D)'s or switch their affiliation to (D) and be honest with their voters. If the roles were reversed and they caucused with the Republican's they would not count toward (R)'s gaining a razor thin majority.

It's a loophole - they're independents who caucus with Democrats.

Yes but you'd have to change Senate rules to get that accomplished.
