The White House has sent its long-awaited spending cuts request to Congress as it seeks to formalize a slew of DOGE slashes to federal funding.

The so-called rescissions package seeks to claw back $9.4 billion lawmakers had authorized the executive branch to spend, and it would require only GOP votes to pass.

The conservative House Freedom Caucus is demanding a swift vote on the impending White House spending cuts package targeting USAID, NPR and PBS.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said on Tuesday the DOGE cuts must be approved in a separate package because it deals with discretionary spending, meaning the annual costs authorized by Congress through the appropriations process.

The request would support an estimated 150 full time employees, 80% of whom would be paid out of agency reimbursements, rather than DOGE-specific funds.

House Republicans are preparing to receive a package of spending cuts from the White House related to the Department of Government Efficiency.

On the heels of the public war of words between President Trump and Elon Musk, sources say anxiety is mounting among the remaining staff at DOGE.
