White House to Send Congress a Rescission Package for Select DOGE Cuts

The news comes a day after Elon Musk said in an interview that will air Sunday that he was “disappointed” that the House-passed reconciliation bill “undermines” the work DOGE has done in cutting government spending.

As lawmakers navigate Elon Musk and his unpopular Department of Government Efficiency, the White House is looking to codify DOGE’s cuts as soon as possible.

Three sources told NOTUS Wednesday that the White House will send Congress a $9.4 billion rescission package — essentially a request to send money back to the Treasury — next week.

The package, which is expected to come on Tuesday, according to one of the sources, will include a request to pull back funding for NPR, PBS and the United States Agency of International Development.
