House GOP Supports Trump's Plan to Cut Federal Spending

News summary

House Republicans, under Speaker Mike Johnson, successfully passed a funding bill that reflects President Trump's agenda to significantly reduce the federal government, rallying even staunch conservatives from the Freedom Caucus to support it. This shift in GOP unity comes as Trump applies pressure and showcases efforts spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk through the Department of Government Efficiency, which has already led to thousands of federal job cuts. Democrats, now in the minority, face challenges in countering this new legislative momentum, as the narrative that Republicans cannot govern is becoming less applicable. The Department of Education alone has laid off approximately 1,300 employees, illustrating the broader trend of government downsizing. With plans for sweeping tax cuts and reductions in social programs, the GOP is positioning itself to reshape the federal landscape at an unprecedented pace. Legal challenges may arise as some Republicans advocate for controversial funding measures, further complicating the political landscape.
