House passes rescission bill that would codify DOGE cuts
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) talks to reporters after a spending rescission bill narrowly passed the House by a vote of 214-212 along party lines, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on June 12, 2025. The bill codifies funding cuts to humanitarian assistance, global public health, and public broadcasting made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and would allow Congress to claw back more than $9 billion in previously approved spending if it passes in the Senate.
