Thune on spending cancellations bill: I intend to bring the president's rescissions package to the floor this month for debate and amendment to ratify some of the good work the administration has done in identifying wasteful and inappropriate uses of taxpayer dollars
.@SenJohnKennedy on rescissions package: "It is gut check time. You either believe in reducing spending or you don't. And if you talk the game and say 'let's reduce spending' and you vote against this bill, in my opinion, you outta hide your head in a bag." https://t.co/OGyso39Ahf
Senate Republicans are preparing to consider a package of funding cuts proposed by President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The rescissions package, which aims to reduce federal spending by canceling wasteful or inappropriate expenditures, faces a mid-July deadline for approval. Senate GOP leaders, including John Thune, have indicated plans to bring the bill to the floor for debate and amendments within the month. Some Republican senators have expressed reservations about the proposal, but others, such as Senator John Kennedy, have framed the vote as a decisive moment on spending reduction, urging support for the bill. The House has already passed the rescissions package, and the Senate is expected to follow suit soon.
