House approves DOGE-backed spending cuts to NPR, PBS, and foreign aid

Republicans are characterizing the spending as wasteful and unnecessary, while Democrats say the rescissions are harmful to the U.S. and the world.

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 by the Department of Government Efficiency when it was overseen by Elon Musk.
