Congress passes spending cuts, including $1.1 billion from public broadcasting
SUMMARY: House Republicans approved $9 billion in federal funding cuts proposed by President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), marking a legislative win. The cuts, passed via a rarely used budget law that bypassed a Senate filibuster, include $1.1 billion removed from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, affecting NPR and PBS, and about $8 billion cut from foreign aid programs. USAID suffered severe staffing losses, causing nearly 500 metric tons of emergency aid food to spoil. Critics like Rep. Morgan McGarvey warn that these cuts harm public education and national safety, while Speaker Mike Johnson indicated more cuts may follow.
