A key focus of his demand is the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which includes PBS and NPR, outlets he criticized for having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fcc-commissioner-bidens-disinformation-governance-board-is-unconstitutional\/\" title=\"FCC Commissioner: Biden\u2019s \u201cDisinformation Governance Board\u201d Is Unconstitutional\">strong left-wing bias<\/a> despite receiving federal funds. The recessions package also targets cuts to foreign aid, LGBTQ+ programs, equity initiatives, Green New Deal policies, and efforts referred to as &#8220;color revolutions&#8221; abroad. Even though these cuts align with longstanding priorities of many Republicans and could energize the GOP base,some moderate senators have expressed opposition,<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >threatening internal party conflict<\/a>. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the package before July 18, 2025, with the House expected to follow. Passing the bill would signal a commitment to fiscal restraint and cement recent budget reductions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump threatened Thursday to withhold his endorsement from federal lawmakers running in the 2026 midterm elections if they don&rsquo;t support a recessions bill that would enact cuts previously authorized by Congress.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is very important that all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hearing-room-erupts-chaos-dem-rep-makes-vile-comment-pro-life-republicans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republicans<\/a> adhere to my Recissions Bill and, in particular, DEFUND THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN &amp; MSDNC put together,&rdquo; he wrote in a  post.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Donald J.
