Synopsis
In a historic move, Congress approved a $9.4 billion rollback of previously allocated funds—the first major rescission package since 1999. Spearheaded by Senate Republicans and influenced by Donald Trump, the cuts target foreign aid, NPR, climate initiatives, and unused pandemic relief. While critics argue the impact is largely symbolic, supporters see it as a critical first step in dismantling bloated government spending and reasserting America First priorities. With Speaker Mike Johnson signaling more cuts ahead, this vote could mark the beginning of a broader fiscal shift in Washington.
