Congress Asked to Codify DOGE Cuts

The White House is seeking congressional support for the cuts already implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency. This proposal would cancel $9.4 billion in funds that Congress previously appropriated. Over $8 billion of the spending cuts are from foreign aid, primarily money that was approved for the U.S. Agency for International Development. USAID was one of the first programs shut down by DOGE. North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer is a member of the Senate DOGE Caucus and said DOGE “has taken a scapel to the federal government, slashing misspending and eliminating fraudulent and improper payments.”
