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 White House asked Congress to slash $9.4 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting funding, marking its first attempt to cement the spending cuts pursued by the Department of Government Efficiency.

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.
