The Senate Republican President Trump’s Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) is staring at a mid-zuli deadline to approve a batch of funding cuts chased by the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), even a misunderstanding about the request in the GOP Express misunderstanding.
The GOP -led Congress last month has an approval of more than $ 9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting fund cut in a special rescue request sent by the White House last month.
Home Approved the request Last month, but it is largely on the back-burner as Republican worked to pass Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”. Now, the Senate is ready to take it.
Under the special rescue process launched by the White House, the Republican can approve Trump’s proposal to bring back the already allocated money with a simple majority in the Senate – allows them to bypass democratic support.
The White House United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Foreign Aid, and Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) are cutting down by $ 8.3 billion in cuts by $ 8.3 billion in deduction of more than $ 1 billion, which helps in funding NPR and PBS.
Republican support of the plan is seen for a long time. Many people of the party have long examined the scope of money for foreign aid and have accused television of public radio and political bias.
Last month under his testimony before Senate Appropriation Committee, Russell Wout, budget chief of White House Proposed deduction postponed “LGBTQ in Uganda,” “Transgender people, sex workers and Nepal in Nepal, pointing to funding for their customers, sex workers and their customers and” LGBTQ activism “, as” strong commitment to cuts federal expenses “, as” as “
But at the same hearing, Vought faced pushbacks about the cut from the Republican as well as the Democrat.
Senate Appropriation President Susan Collins (R-Men) has repeatedly played an alarm about the proposed cuts of the administration, which targets AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) for the US President’s emergency plan, and is pressed on the subject.
“These are not only the perfect task for human reasons, but they are incredible tools of soft power,” he said, before the administration is watching for pregnant mothers “to cut off the supplement of food supplements used for lifetime multiwitamins and malnourished children.”
In his previous testimony, the Vuff told the MPs that if the rescue package would have about 10 billion dollars left for Peppar, but he has also questioned the scope of preventive care, pointing to the funds for the “gender and inclusive development experts” and the Internationally Planned Parenthood Federation recruitment items.
Some Republicans have also expressed concern about how the proposed cut to CPB will affect local stations and rural radio.
“Your very small rural radio stations that serve our original American reservations a lot and then, about 90% of their funding comes through the federal government,” Sen Mike Rounds (Rs.) Told reporters on Tuesday.
“This is solved, because it is where they receive their announcements in these rural areas through emergency services,” he said. “They are not political in nature, but it is the only way to really communicate in some very rural areas of our state and also in many other states.”
This has been for decades as the Congress has approved the request to withdraw the first approved fund by MPs. Trump tried to use the same process to save money in his first term, but despite the Republican controlling the House, Senate and the White House at that time, failed.
Trump officials have indicated that if the Congress’s Republicans are able to push before them through the rescue package, they can be on the path.
A committee meeting has not been scheduled yet to pursue the bill on the Senate floor and the leaders of the Senate have not indicated when a destination will be voted in this month. Coalins had indicated last month that she hoped the bill to go to the serial floor without change, but she would like to see it modified.
At the same time, Democrats are already warning that bringing back funding will have a “poison” interaction for fiscal 2026 government funding.
InOne letterFor Democrats on Tuesday, the Senate Minority Leader Chak Shumar (DN.Y.) argued that he would be affected by the bipartisan appropriation process.
“This is why many Senate Republicans know that it is absurd for them to expect Democrats to act as a business in general and engage in a bipartisan appropriation process to fund the government, while they conspire to pass the conversionly in -part rescue Bill, which is a single program behind a program behind a program that is a program behind a program that is a program behind a program. To define, “he wrote.
His comments determined the stage that what could be another bad fight on government money waiting for the Congress in the next months, when the time comes for the two sides to make a deal to stop a shutdown in October, the financial year 2026.
