President Donald J. Trump just scored another massive win for taxpayers.
In a move that hasn’t been seen in over two decades, Congress has passed a $9 billion spending cuts bill, sending it to President Trump’s desk in a late-night vote. The legislation—known as a rescissions package—marks a return to fiscal responsibility and a decisive strike against wasteful government spending.
🔥 What’s in the Bill?
- $8 billion in cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
- $1 billion removed from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
- Originally allocated for liberal foreign aid and media funding in 2025
- Entirely redirected or eliminated under Trump’s America First plan
These taxpayer-funded programs have long faced scrutiny for promoting woke ideologies and overseas projects that do little for the American people.
“This is a strong first step in restoring sanity to Washington,” said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. “We’re finally putting the brakes on runaway spending.”
✅ A Victory for the America First Agenda
The bill narrowly passed in the House, 216–213, with just two Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., called it a “historic moment” for the conservative movement.
Though symbolic in some ways, this move sends a loud and clear message: President Trump is taking real action to rein in federal waste.
💰 Why It Matters for Taxpayers
This marks the first time since 1999 that a president has used the rescissions process—a rarely invoked power to cancel previously approved funding.
By cutting bloated bureaucracies and eliminating foreign handouts, Trump is delivering on his promise to drain the swamp and protect American wallets.
🗣️ Democrats Try to Distract with Epstein Drama
Desperate to change the subject, House Democrats tried to derail the vote by invoking the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., even led a chant of “release the files” on the House floor, attempting to weaponize the issue against the GOP.
Speaker Johnson didn’t take the bait:
“We’re here to do our jobs. Americans want spending cuts, not political theater.”
Conservatives quickly pointed out that Joe Biden sat on those Epstein files for four years, and Democrats said nothing.
🇺🇸 Trump’s Signature Will Seal the Deal
The Senate made minor adjustments to the original $9.4 billion proposal, softening cuts to global health initiatives. Still, the core of the package remains intact.
President Trump is expected to sign the bill Friday, marking a bold return to fiscal discipline and conservative values.
💬 Final Thought
Americans over 50 remember when the government lived within its means. Now, under President Trump, that vision is back.
