💨 Abstract

The Senate is debating a contentious proposal by the Trump administration to cut $9.4 billion in foreign aid and public media funding. The House already approved the cuts, and the Senate has until July 18 to act. Republicans like Collins and McConnell, along with Democrats like Murray, have expressed concerns, with Collins questioning cuts to HIV prevention and public media, and Murray arguing that approving the cuts would undermine Congress's authority.
