US EditionA Senate vote this week will test the popularity of DOGE spending cuts
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The package would rescind $9.4 billion in federal funds, including $8.3 billion for international aid and $1.1 billion for public broadcasting, amid GOP efforts to cut spending.
- This week, Senate Republicans will test the vote on President Donald Trump’s $9.4 billion rescissions request targeting public media and foreign aid.
- Using a mechanism created under Nixon, the Trump administration employs a process established under President Richard Nixon that triggers a 45-day freeze clock, with no attribution.
- By mid-May, The New York Times’s analysis found that the Wall of Receipts showed the V.A. was behind on its goals, with at least 45 claims misleading.
- Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer warned of grave implications, and the National Congress of American Indians urged rejection of the cuts, highlighting political backlash.
- Should Congress fail to act within the 45-day period, spending remains unfrozen, and a vote-a-rama will be held if the bill is taken up, with only a simple Senate majority needed for advancement.
