This week, Congress received the rescissions request from the White House, which will claw back $9.4 billion of wasteful spending identified by DOGE. House Republicans will act as quickly as possible to pass the DOGE cuts, which include funds to USAID, NPR, and PBS because the American people deserve to have their tax dollars spent efficiently and wisely.

This week, House Republicans passed H.R. 2931, SAVE SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act; H.R. 2966, American Entrepreneurs First Act; and H.R. 2987, CEASE Act—each codifying President Trump's executive orders. House Republicans are committed to fulfilling the President's agenda and putting Americans first. Following House passage, Speaker Johnson said, "We will keep passing the President’s executive orders and working in lockstep with this Administration to fulfill our commitment to the American people."
