🪓 America First DOGE Cuts: The GOP Is Out of Excuses
The Senate’s delay on advancing the DOGE cuts package (Rescissions Act of 2025 or H.R.4) reveals the same entrenched bureaucracy that bloated agencies like USAID and public broadcasting thrive on. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1) wasn’t designed to handle everything at once because under Senate rules, major spending reductions (known as rescissions) can’t be fully enacted through reconciliation. That’s why DOGE (Defunding Operations of Government Excess) was created as a separate mechanism. A rescission is basically Congress hitting the brakes and pulling back money it already approved but hasn’t yet spent. It’s a tool to cancel wasteful funding before it gets burned, and that’s exactly what this bill does. This isn’t just budget trimming. It is about restoring fiscal accountability in a system that’s been bleeding taxpayers dry for decades.
Take, for example, NPR and PBS: the bill slashes $1.1 billion from so-called “public service” outlets that function more like legacy media machines. Meanwhile, a massive $8.3 billion clawback from USAID halts globalist giveaways that’ve prioritized foreign agendas over border security and core national interests.
Every day this bill stalls is another day D.C. bureaucrats drain your wallet. It’s time to pass it and then audit every cent to ensure the savings aren’t funneled back into new waste. America First means cutting what doesn’t work, not feeding Washington’s addiction to spending.
🔥 What’s Getting Cut:
📺 Public Broadcasting (NPR/PBS) – $1.1B rescinded from CPB, targeting biased “public” media
🌍 USAID / Foreign Aid – $8.3B clawed back from global programs like PEPFAR and development funds
🧪 EPA, HUD, NSF, VA, USPS – Internal DOGE audits have led to staffing freezes, contract terminations, and halted grants
🕊️ AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, NED, USIP – Cultural diplomacy programs scaled back or paused
📊 Total savings so far: Over $9.4 billion, with even more to come through internal rescission reviews
The GOP has zero excuses left. After all their grandstanding, huffing, and puffing about government waste and runaway spending; what’s their excuse now? The fact that some are still on the fence about passing the DOGE cuts and OBBB only proves what many of us suspected all along: their so-called objections were a red herring. The truth is, too many in Congress don’t want to cut. Instead, they want cover. It’s time to call their bluff and demand results. No more delays. No more excuses. Pass the bill. 🔥🇺🇸
