💨 Abstract

In late July 2025, the U.S. House is poised to approve President Trump's request to rescind about $9 billion in funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid. The package includes $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and $8 billion from various foreign aid programs. Republicans support the cuts as a move towards fiscal sanity, while Democrats and some Republicans express concerns about the impact on vulnerable populations and congressional authority.
