House Republicans this week will vote on codifying billions of dollars of cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), days after the profound — and very public — breakup between President Trump and Elon Musk, the force behind the cost-cutting agency.

The $9.4 billion package claws back funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports NPR and PBS, among other areas targeted by DOGE.

Some Republicans have expressed reservations with various parts of the bill, raising questions about its fate in the House. Also this week, the House will vote on a bill to classify fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I.

Across the Capitol, Senate Republicans are working to finalize changes to the “big, beautiful bill,” as party leaders aim to send the package to President Trump by July 4. Some committees may begin to roll out text this week.

Additionally, a flurry of cabinet secretaries will visit Capitol Hill this week to answer questions about the president's fiscal year 2026 budget request.

House plows ahead with vote on codifying COGE cuts

House Republicans are plowing ahead with their first attempt at codifying DOGE cuts this week, planning a vote on the Rescissions Act of 2025, which would rescind $9.4 billion in federal funding.

The House Rules Committee is scheduled to meet on the measure on Tuesday at 2 p.m., tee-ing up the legislation for the week.

“We’re gonna codify the DOGE cuts, you’ll see that in a series of actions here in the House,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters on Friday. “We got the first rescissions package this week, we’ll be passing it early next week, that DOGE cuts, there’ll be more of that to come.”

Not all Republicans, however, are on board with the legislation: A handful of lawmakers have voiced concerns with different provisions in the measure, leaving leadership with some work to do before the bill hits the floor.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), for example, has expressed opposition to clawing back funding for U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR, which was established during the George W. Bush administration. The congressman said leadership has assured him they are not gutting the entire program, but instead cutting “weird appendages off."

“I talked to the whip team, I’m on the whip team, I said if it’s gonna be cutting all of PEPFAR, I’m a no,” Bacon told reporters on Friday.

The effort comes days after the blistering feud between Trump and Musk, which began as a back-and-forth over the party’s tax cuts and spending package before quickly turning into a personal fight — severing ties between the world’s most powerful man and the richest person on the planet.

“I would assume so, yeah,” Trump........
