Daily Caller News Foundation

Speaker Mike Johnson suggested Wednesday that the next agenda item on House Republicans’ calendar could be passing legislation aimed at slashing more government spending.

Johnson said Wednesday that House Republicans are “eager” to codify cuts to congressionally-appropriated funding made by President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) following the House’s passage of the president’s “one big, beautiful bill” on May 22. The White House will send a $9.4 billion rescissions package to Congress to codify some of DOGE’s work as early as next Tuesday, a spokesperson for the White House Office of Management and Budget told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The rescissions package will include $1.1 billion in cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which partly funds the National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in addition to an $8.3 billion spending reduction to foreign aid agencies, including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Though the cuts represent a small amount of discretionary spending, GOP lawmakers have sharply criticized these programs, alleging they have recklessly spent taxpayer money and propagated left-wing ideology.

Axios was first to report the White House’s plans to transmit the rescissions package to Congress.

Both chambers of Congress can pass the rescissions package by a simple majority vote, allowing GOP lawmakers to effectively bypass Democratic opposition. Once the White House sends the DOGE cuts to the House and Senate, lawmakers will have 45 days to vote on clawing back the funding.

Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune will need virtually every Republican to get behind the rescission effort due to both conferences’ slim majorities.

“The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE’s findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand,” the House Speaker wrote on X Wednesday morning.

Johnson also argued that House Republicans’ passage of the president’s sweeping tax and spending package builds on DOGE’s work to eliminate wasteful spending. The bill notably achieves more than a $1.6 trillion decrease in mandatory spending over a ten-year period in part by reforming Medicaid and food assistance programs.

The House-drafted bill notably bars notably 1.4 million illegal migrants from receiving Medicaid coverage at the state level and implements work requirements that require certain able-bodied, childless adults to work or volunteer 20 hours a week in order to enroll in the program.

Codifying the DOGE cuts, on the other hand, would reduce discretionary spending, which Congress votes on every year through the appropriations process. Johnson said House Republicans will “swiftly implement” Trump’s budget request for the fiscal year 2026 process, which also outlined more than $160 billion in cuts to discretionary spending.

Musk, who recently announced a step back from overseeing DOGE, has conversely suggested that the deficit increases in the president’s landmark bill far outweigh the floated spending cuts and will add to the national debt over a ten-year window.

“I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” Musk told CBS News in an interview that is slated to air in full Sunday.

Both Trump administration officials and congressional proponents of the president’s legislation have panned this view, arguing that a combination of economic growth generated by the bill’s tax cut provisions and undoing Biden-era regulations will shrink budget deficits.

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has championed clawing back funding through her purview on a DOGE-focused House oversight panel, said Wednesday that the initial rescissions package should be one of many that House Republicans ultimately pass.

“Personally I want to pass DOGE cuts every single week until the bloated out of control government is reigned back in,” Greene wrote on X. “As a country, we cannot survive our national debt and honestly, we may be past the point of return. We should be aggressively attacking our debt and aggressively, cutting all waste fraud, and abuse and unnecessary programs.”

“Our future literally is in peril,” Greene added.
