A rescission package that installs into law President Donald Trump's agenda to cut spending on foreign aid and PBS has been adopted by the U.S. House.

The package cancels money that already had been allowed by Congress in furtherance of the savings plans launched by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Among the billions of dollars being cut is hundreds of millions for PBS and NPR, which Republicans have described as leftist propaganda machines.

A report from Just the News explains the total spending eliminated is $9.4 billion.

It was adopted on a 214-212 vote, and now must go to the Senate.

"The package includes $1.1 billion in cuts for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as the White House has said that NPR and PBS have 'spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news," and $8.3 billion for the United States Agency for International Development, as well as other international assistance programs," the report said.

It Rescissions Act of 2025 slashes not only PBS, NPR and USAID, but other aid programs.

There was concern for the funds being cut from PBS and NPR, with Rep. Mark Amodei, a Republican from Nevada worrying that while he understood cuts to "national stations for their editorial stances against the president," the funding cuts also hit local stations, the report said.

In the Senate, Trump's agenda will need only a simple majority of 50 votes to pass, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has explained his body will do a reconciliation package first, then address rescissions.
