House GOP effort to lock in DOGE cuts faces Republican resistance
The GOP’s effort to eliminate billions of dollars in federal funding faces an uphill battle in the House this week, as a handful of Republicans balk at various provisions in the legislation.
Some of those Republicans are voicing doubts about specific portions of the White House’s request to claw back $9.4 billion — known as a rescissions package — which would lock in cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) targeting the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Others are expressing concerns that the rescissions process would undermine Congress’s authority to allocate funding.
One House Republican, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter, estimated around 10 lawmakers have voiced concerns about the bill, but “there’s more concerns than people who have whipped ‘no.’”

Not that I'm complaining but remember the Ketamine Kid said they could cut back $2 trillion.
