The GOP-led Senate narrowly passed a $9 billion rescissions package early on Thursday morning that seeks to eliminate “waste, fraud, and abuse” identified by the Trump administration and its Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.
Senators voted 51-48 in favor of the measure, which aims to claw back funds allocated to foreign aid projects and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a funding source for NPR and PBS programs that many Republicans deem wasteful and ideologically driven. Now the rescissions package heads back to the House, which has only until Friday to pass it.
