White House to send DOGE rescissions package to Capitol Hill: Report
The proposed cuts aim to eliminate expenditures referred by DOGE for the chopping block, amounting to nearly $9 billion in previously approved spending reductions, targeting agencies like USAID and public broadcasting entities, such as NPR and PBS.
DOGE, led by Elon Musk, has already implemented significant cost-saving measures without Congress, but Republican senators have expressed skepticism about formalizing these cuts into law.
The spending cut recommendations will undoubtedly face challenges as Congress focuses on a broader tax and spending bill, with GOP leaders warning of limited legislative bandwidth before the next shutdown deadline of September 30, 2025. A potential legal challenge to the Impoundment Control Act could emerge if Congress resists, as the Trump administration considers unilateral action to enforce the cuts.
