“Senate Republicans are set to consider a multibillion-dollar package of cuts from the White House, but the top Senate Democrat warned that doing so could have consequences for a later government funding showdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned on Tuesday that the Senate GOP’s plan to move forward with a $9.4 billion rescissions package would ‘have grave implications’ on Congress, particularly the forthcoming government funding fight in September. ‘Republicans’ passage of this purely partisan proposal would be an affront to the bipartisan appropriations process,’ Schumer wrote in a letter to fellow Senate Democrats. ‘That’s why a number of Senate Republicans know it is absurd for them to expect Democrats to act as business as usual and engage in a bipartisan appropriations process to fund the government, while they concurrently plot to pass a purely partisan rescissions bill to defund those same programs negotiated on a bipartisan basis behind the scenes,’ he continued.” (07/08/25)
