House Delivers With $9B Rescissions Package – RedState
If we feel like we just have this conversation … It’s because we were doing roughly. Barely two weeks ago, we gripped our teeth through the marathon of a vote in the room (and the leader of the Hakeem Jeffries minority “Magic Minute”) on the reconciliation bill (also known as “One Big Beautiful Bill” or “Obbb”).
It could have kicked and screaming, but the GOP House dragged OBBB through the finish line, just in time for President Donald Trump to sign him on July 4.

And now they have managed it with the DOGE breaking / cuttings package of $ 9 billion. After several machinations from the rules committee, the Chamber began an “hour” of debate on the measure shortly after 10:00 p.m., the east of the East Thursday evening. With a vote from 216 to 213, the measure was finally adopted around 12:06 p.m. in the East. (Brian Fitzpatrick (PA) and Mike Turner (OH) were the two Republicans without votes on the measure.)
This vote follows the initial adoption in the House in mid-June, followed by the Battle of the Senate with it earlier this week. This led to minor (relatively) minor (relatively) minor adjustments that pushed the setting from 9.4 billion to $ 9 billion.
However, $ 9 billion is not nothing.

President Trump obtains a huge victory in the Senate while $ 9 billion is withdrawn from foreign aid and public broadcasting
As Streiff noted on the adoption of the Senate, it is the first time that a set of attractions have been scraped a path through Congress in more than a quarter of a century:
This marks the first time that the cancellation process has been used to reduce spending since 1999. President Trump tried to reduce $ 15 billion in 2018, but the bill failed to erase the Senate. Since the process was introduced into the 1974 law on budget control and deduction, the presidents submitted 1,178 requests for cancellation totaling $ 76 billion; 461 of these requests, including 25 billion dollars, survived in contact with the Congress.
So it’s a victory, even if it’s a little one. Of course, even these modest discounts (about 8 billion dollars in foreign aid spending and $ 1 billion for the public broadcasting company) have the left howl on the injustice of all this. See, for example, the chief of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer (D-NY):
Schumer on the director of the Vought budget: he wants to destroy, destroy the functioning of the congress, destroy the balance of powers, put an end to our whole constitution. Russell Vought does not believe in this democracy. He wants to impose his right opinions on America almost unilaterally. He said he …

Now that it has adopted the house, President Trump will bring his Sharpie to measure and sign it.
And after that? Credits. Our editor -in -chief, Jennifer Van Laar, has a great explanator:
After the major bill and the cancellation package, the congress will turn its attention to the annual bill on credits, which is there that huge expense reductions may occur. And since the debt ceiling and a number of other disputed problems (such as tax reductions and the financing of deportations and the border wall) will be outside the table, it will be more difficult for the Democrats of the Senate to hold everything that is hostage, and more discounts of expenditure can occur.
Yes, it’s a slog. But things are changing in the right direction.
