Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, House Republicans took action to rein in Washington’s reckless spending by passing a major rescissions package that eliminated over $9 billion in wasteful programs flagged by President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency.
This is not only a victory for taxpayers, but for accountability, and for restoring some much-needed sanity to the federal budget. Washington’s been living high on the hog for far too long. House Republicans are doing the hard work of digging into the bloated bureaucracy, ending ridiculous woke pet projects, and eliminating programs that insult both our intelligence and our values.
Here’s just a few examples of what we’re cutting:
- Taxpayer-funded propaganda like drag shows for kids and documentaries promoting radical ideologies.
- Woke media subsidies for NPR and PBS, including programs about “queer animals” and gender-neutral pronouns for pets.
- $135M to the World Health Organization
- $6M to promote “Net Zero Cities” in Mexico
- $3M for a version of Sesame Street in Iraq
- $6M to boost media in the Palestinian territories
- $3M for sexual and reproductive programs in Venezuela
