    House Approves Trump’s Request To Slash Funding For PBS, NPR and Foreign Aid

    Thursday, June 12, 2025

    The House narrowly voted Thursday to cut about $9.4 billion in spending already approved by Congress as President Donald Trump's administration looks to follow through on work done by the Department of Government Efficiency when it was overseen by Elon Musk.

    The package targets foreign aid programs and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides money for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service as well as thousands of public radio and television stations around the country. The vote was 214-212.

    Republicans are characterizing the spending as wasteful and unnecessary, but Democrats say the rescissions are hurting the United States' standing in the world and will lead to needless deaths.

    "Cruelty is the point," Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said of the proposed spending cuts.

    The Trump administration is employing a tool rarely used in recent years that allows the president to transmit a request to Congress to cancel previously appropriated funds. That triggers a 45-day clock in which the funds are frozen pending congressional action. If Congress fails to act within that period, then the spending stands.

    "This rescissions package sends $9.4 billion back to the U.S. Treasury," said Rep. Lisa McClain, House Republican Conference chair. "That's $9.4 billion of savings that taxpayers won't see wasted. It's their money."

    The benefit for the administration of a formal rescissions request is that passage requires only a simple majority in the 100-member Senate instead of the 60 votes usually required to get spending bills through that chamber. So if they stay united, Republicans will be able to pass the measure without any Democratic votes.
