Synopsis
In a groundbreaking legislative move, Congress has passed a $9.4 billion rescission package—the first since 1999—cutting funds to NPR, foreign aid programs, and climate initiatives. Championed by Senate Republicans and backed by Donald Trump, the bill reclaims unspent COVID and infrastructure funds while sending a strong message about spending restraint and America First values. While critics call the cuts symbolic, conservative lawmakers view this as the start of a broader rollback of what they consider wasteful government spending.
