White House to send DOGE cuts package to Congress as Speaker promises quick action
Share this @internewscast.com


The Trump administration will send Congress a package to claw back $9.4 billion in funding next week, an Office of Management and Budget spokesperson confirmed to The Hill, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) pledges to “act quickly” on codifying cuts spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The package will in part target the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, as well as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which was largely dismantled by the administration earlier this year.

Plans for the roughly $9 billion rescissions package were forecast weeks ago and originally projected to be transmitted from the White House by the end of April. But that was delayed as the House completed crafting the “One Big Beautiful Bill” of Trump priorities on tax cuts and defense and border spending.

It comes as Congress has faced the ire of right-wing activists and billionaire Elon Musk over lack of action codifying DOGE activities. Musk told “CBS Sunday Morning” in a clip released Tuesday that he was “disappointed” by the GOP megabill the House passed and sent to the Senate last week, saying it “undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.”

Politico first reported the recissions package would be sent to Capitol Hill next week, and an administration official confirmed details in an Axios report.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) earlier in the day had also teased the package’s arrival, posting on X that “As a country, we cannot survive our national debt and honestly, we may be past the point of return. We should be aggressively attacking our debt and aggressively, cutting all waste fraud, and abuse and unnecessary programs.”

Johnson on Wednesday posted high praise of DOGE while signaling the House will bring the White House rescissions package to the floor quickly.

“.@ElonMusk and the entire @DOGE team have done INCREDIBLE work exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government – from the insanity of USAID’s spending to finding over 12 million people on Social Security who were over 120 years old,” Johnson posted on the social platform X. “The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE’s findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand.”

“When the White House sends its rescissions package to the House, we will act quickly by passing legislation to codify the cuts,” Johnson added, saying Congress would also use the regular appropriations process to implement Trump’s 2026 budget.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, meanwhile, posted on X to clarify the difference between different legislative vehicles for funding.

“DOGE cuts would have to be done through what is known as a rescissions package or an appropriations bill,” Miller said. “The Big Beautiful Bill is NOT an annual budget bill and does not fund the departments of government. It does not finance our agencies or federal programs.”
