The GOP faces internal dissent regarding a crucial $9.4 billion DOGE cuts package, which targets federal funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting. Leading senators, including Mike Rounds and Susan Collins, voice concerns over the potential negative impacts of these cuts, particularly for vulnerable communities reliant on such funding. The House has previously approved the cuts, as backed by the Trump administration. However, GOP lawmakers are wary of the implications, which may hinder the DOGE project's progress with looming deadlines.
"We have Native American radio stations in South Dakota. They get their funding through NPR, 90-some percent of what they use. They will not continue to exist if we don't find a way to take care of their needs."
"Several GOP senators sound skeptical about the $9.4 billion in cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting funding that the Trump administration is asking Congress to approve, raising the prospect of a high-profile setback for the DOGE project just weeks after Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's public feud."
