US EditionTrump spending bill faces opposition from some Republican senators
- President Trump sent a $9.4 billion rescissions package to Congress in March 2025, seeking to cut funding for public broadcasters like NPR and PBS and foreign aid programs.
- This proposal follows Trump's prior executive order to cut Corporation for Public Broadcasting funds and attempts to control its board, prompting lawsuits from PBS, NPR, and CPB.
- Opponents warn these cuts would devastate smaller and rural PBS stations that rely heavily on federal funding and reduce access to local news and emergency services.
- Senator Rand Paul and at least three other Republican senators oppose the bill mainly due to the debt ceiling increase, with Paul stating he might support the rest if that is removed.
- The opposition suggests the bill will likely be modified before passing, while House Speaker Mike Johnson highlights the package's historic spending cuts despite dissent among Republicans.
