Republicans managed to pass Donald Trump’s signature legislative achievement last week, a reconciliation bill extending tax rates and slashing Medicaid. But that’s not the entirety of the president’s legislative agenda.
While the House decided to take a week’s vacation, the Senate is back. And Republicans are turning their attention to a $9.4 billion rescission package that would codify some cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters about three weeks ago that he was waiting for Appropriations Chair Sen. Susan Collins to take the next steps on the rescission bill.
