 White House to send DOGE cuts package to Congress as Speaker promises quick action
by Emily Brooks - 05/28/25 1:15 PM ET

The Trump administration will send Congress a package to claw back $9.4 billion in funding next week, an Office of Management and Budget spokesperson confirmed to The Hill, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) pledges to “act quickly” on codifying cuts spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The package will in part target the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, and USAID, which was largely dismantled by the administration earlier this year.

Plans for the roughly $9 billion recissions package were forecasted weeks ago and originally projected to be transmitted from the White House by the end of April. But that was delayed as the House completed crafting the “One Big Beautiful Bill” of Trump priorities on tax cuts and defense and border spending.

Axios first reported that the $9.4 billion recissions package would be sent to Capitol Hill next week.

It comes as Congress has faced the ire of right-wing activists and billionaire Elon Musk over lack of action codifying DOGE activities. Musk told CBS Sunday Morning in a clip released Tuesday night that he was “disappointed” by the GOP megabill that the House passed and sent to the Senate last week, saying that it “undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.”

Johnson on Wednesday posted high praise of DOGE while signaling the House will bring the White House recissions package to the floor quickly.

“.@ElonMusk and the entire @DOGE team have done INCREDIBLE work exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government – from the insanity of USAID’s spending to finding over 12 million people on Social Security who were over 120 years old,” Johnson posted on X. “The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE’s findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand.”

$9 billion is peanuts compared to trillions we are spending and increasing in debt.

This political theater must stop and begin doing some real rational decision-making as DOGE had recommended

Perhaps we could get more done if we could persuade the little prince and princesses to work more than 136 days a year!

Speaker Johnson Reveals Two Ways House Will Act On DOGE’s Findings

Announcement follows Elon Musk's criticism of the "One Big, Beautiful Bill."

On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) outlined two actions the House will take based on findings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, led by Elon Musk.

The announcement followed Musk’s statement that the current version of President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” narrowly passed by the House last week, “undermines” the DOGE initiative’s cost-cutting efforts because it risks further increasing the federal deficit, which has already surpassed $1 trillion in recent years.

Musk and the DOGE “team have done INCREDIBLE work exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government – from the insanity of USAID’s spending to finding over 12 million people on Social Security who were over 120 years old,” Johnson declared in a post on X. “The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE’s findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand.”

Johnson said the House will take a two-pronged approach in which the lower chamber will “quickly” pass legislation to codify any cuts requested by the White House in an expected rescissions package and leverage the appropriations process to “swiftly implement” Trump’s proposed 2026 budget. “In the meantime, we have been working around the clock as we prepared for those processes,” he added.

We only have a limited amount of time to make this happen, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Musk is a national treasure and he and the rest of us will not accept disappointment gracefully.

Get going.
