A group of 15 fiscal conservatives in the House sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Tuesday warning that “weakening” the cuts would “undermine both his leadership and the discipline our budget urgently demands.” Instead, the group urged the Senate to pass the rescissions package as-is.

Senate Republicans forced through a clawback package codifying roughly $9 billion in spending reductions early Thursday, rolling back outlays on foreign aid, NPR and PBS. The House of Representatives now has until Friday to approve the measure and send it to President Trump’s desk.

Congressional Republicans are launching into their next big legislative fight – this time over DOGE spending cuts for foreign aid and public broadcasting – that risks the wrath of President Donald Trump if they fail.
