A few weeks ago, as debate was raging about the BBB and Thomas Massie was grandstanding, I told everyone to get that passed, book the win, and then move on to the rescission bills.
And that’s exactly what we did!
Today, the first round of DOGE cuts was passed by Congress, making $9 billion in DOGE cuts permanent!
USAID loses $8 billion.
And NPR and PBS lose $1 billion.
JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote:
Here’s a quick summary of what we just got in more detail:
The Senate is debating a $9 billion rescissions package aimed at reversing previously approved spending.
The proposal includes $8.3 billion in foreign aid cuts and $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS.
The initial votes were tied, and Vice President J.D. Vance cast tie-breaking votes to advance the measure.
A planned $400 million cut to PEPFAR (HIV/AIDS aid) was removed to gain broader support.
Supporters argue this reflects Trump’s policy to reduce government spending and reclaim unused funds.
If enacted, NPR and PBS would face significant funding shortfalls, forcing local stations to seek private donations or reduce programming to stay operational.
