WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Works (AFW) applauded House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune for passing President Donald J. Trump’s rescissions package, which cuts more than $9 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse federal spending.
“The passage of President Trump’s rescissions package is a great day for the American people. They voted overwhelmingly to begin reigning in the Swamp, and that’s what this bill does. Leftist propaganda outlets like NPR and PBS have finally been defunded. Money wasted on woke USAID projects has been pulled. These rescissions clawed back more than $9 billion in wasteful spending — the first major step to saving taxpayer dollars. This is just the start. After the president’s signature on this bill, we will not rest until every penny of waste, fraud, and abuse has been cut.”
