White House to send DOGE rescissions package to Capitol Hill: Report
The White House plans to send a package of domestic spending cuts, based on recommendations from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to Capitol Hill this week, according to Republican officials who spoke to several House GOP members on Wednesday.
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.
