The Senate is working overnight into the early hours of Thursday morning as it weighs whether to claw back $9 billion in federal funds already congressionally approved for foreign aid and public broadcasting programs as a deadline to act on the White House priority looms.

The $9 billion rescission request now heads back to the House, which narrowly passed a similar version of the DOGE-inspired cuts in June.

The U.S. Senate voted in the early Thursday morning hours to approve a package of spending cuts suggested by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
