Synopsis
Congress approves a historic $9.4 billion rollback—the first in a generation—targeting NPR, USAID, and unused Biden-era funds, signaling a sharp turn toward America First budgeting. The cuts come alongside the closure of two major transgender clinics and renewed attacks on California's stalled high-speed rail. Backed by Trump and celebrated by conservative commentators, the moves are hailed as the beginning of a deep state dismantling. Critics argue the cuts are symbolic, but the right sees them as proof that a new political era is taking shape.
