President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has identified billions in government waste and has cut many unnecessary federal grants and contracts. However, Congress has the power of the purse and must lead the effort to make lasting changes to federal spending levels.

The Office of Management and Budget has sent the first recissions package to Congress outlining $9.4 billion in cuts to funding of woke programs in foreign aid and public radio.
BUT NOTE: If Congress fails to act by July 18th, the final day of the 45-day timeline outlined in the Impoundment Control Act, the executive branch will be forced to spend the wasteful funds as originally appropriated.
