President Donald Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package is back in the House after being passed in the Senate. But while Congress is on track to give the president his first DOGE cuts, it’s hardly a great victory.
Republican Senators have the votes to pass a bill that will cut $9 billion in funds already appropriated by Congress. The vote is expected to happen today.
House Republican leaders are holding a press briefing Tuesday morning as their Senate counterparts debate a rescissions bill the lower chamber passed in June that could make some Department of Government Efficiency funding cuts permanent.
