US House passes Trump's request to cut $9.4 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting funding, sends measure to Senate.
The US House of Representatives voted Thursday to approve a package of funding cuts totaling $9.4 billion, as inspired by the U.S. DOGE Service. The cuts, which include foreign aid and funding for PBS and NPR, are part of the administration's broader effort to reduce government spending [1].The bill, which passed with bipartisan support, is the first in a series of similar rescission packages. It aims to address the budgetary constraints and redirect funds towards other priorities. The measure now heads to the Senate for further consideration.
President Donald Trump signed a measure on Thursday that blocks California’s first-in-the-nation rule banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. Additionally, he is scheduled to sign executive orders and host a congressional picnic [1].
The House vote comes amidst ongoing tensions between the federal government and states, particularly California. The state has been at the center of several disputes with the Trump administration, including the recent removal of Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) from a news conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem [1].
The IRS tax-filing season defied gloomy projections despite the DOGE upheaval, with tax receipts markedly increasing this spring. According to the Treasury Department, tax revenue collected in April jumped 9.5 percent to $850 billion total, and in May, it soared 14.7 percent over the 2024 mark, for $371 billion overall [2].
The Senate confirmed former congressman Billy Long (R-Missouri) to serve as commissioner of the IRS on Thursday. His confirmation was approved along party lines [3].
