Rutherford Statement on President Trump’s Rescissions Package House Passage

July 18, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, U.S. Congressman John H. Rutherford (FL-05) released the following statement on the House passage of President Trump’s rescissions package: “The House just passed legislation to slash over $9 BILLION in waste, fraud, and abuse AND end taxpayer funding for NPR, PBS, and USAID. Americans' hard-earned money shouldn't be used to bankroll leftist propaganda and organizations that act contrary to U.S. interests at home and abroad. That's why I was proud to vote YES on President Trump's rescissions package today to cut overseas and domestic spending to help get our country back on track.” Issues : Congress
