Synopsis
In a dramatic legislative shift, Congress has passed a $9.4 billion rescission package—the first of its kind since 1999—eliminating unspent funds from the Biden administration’s climate, COVID, and infrastructure programs. Key targets include NPR, foreign aid, and left-leaning NGOs. Backed by Senate Republicans and championed by former President Trump, the cuts are seen as a symbolic but strategic strike against bloated government and progressive institutions. As Speaker Mike Johnson signals more cuts ahead, this vote marks the opening salvo in a broader battle over the federal budget and America's political direction.
