💨 Abstract

The U.S. Senate is considering reclaiming $9 billion from previously approved funds for foreign aid and public broadcasting. A "rescission package" vote began Wednesday, with Republicans seeking to codify some spending cuts. The Senate and House must approve the legislation by Friday, or the process starts over. Key senators like Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins have opposed the measure, citing concerns about global health programs and rural radio access.
