The House Freedom Caucus on Monday called on Speaker Mike Johnson to “immediately” bring the first round of DOGE cut requests to a floor vote for “swift passage.”
The White House’s $9.4 billion rescissions package, which is expected to land in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, slashes funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
“When the White House submits its first rescissions package to enact DOGE spending cuts to Congress, the House of Representatives should immediately move this to the floor for swift passage,” the caucus said in a statement posted on social media.
“The House Freedom Caucus strongly supports these critical rescissions, and we will support as many more rescissions packages the White House can send us in the coming weeks and months. These first DOGE cuts target taxpayer-funded public broadcasters notorious for their liberal bias like NPR and PBS, as well as billions in wasteful foreign aid dollars,” the statement continued.
