Synopsis
In a landmark vote, Congress passed a $9.4 billion rescission package—the first of its kind in 25 years—eliminating funds for NPR, foreign aid, and left-leaning initiatives. Championed by Senate Republicans and encouraged by former President Trump, the measure reclaims unused pandemic and climate funds while signaling a new era of fiscal discipline. Conservatives call it a win for taxpayers and America First values, while critics warn of political retribution and symbolic cuts. As Speaker Mike Johnson prepares for more rollbacks, the fight over the federal budget is just beginning.
