Senate Republicans are expected to move forward on Wednesday with efforts to codify some of the Department of Government Efficiency cuts to programs such as the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and public broadcasting.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Republicans will vote on a Russia sanctions bill once Trump approves it, as pressure mounts on Moscow to negotiate peace in Ukraine.

Republicans in the House and Senate have until Friday to pass the recissions measure that targets foreign assistance and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Senators began voting Wednesday on amendments to a large foreign aid and public broadcasting rescissions package.

The rescissions bill to claw back funding approved for foreign aid, NPR and PBS is a top Trump priority, but some Senate Republicans have raised concerns about the cuts.

The bill will trigger a massive reduction in local coverage, journalist layoffs and shuttering of stations, public media leaders say.

The House on Wednesday finally mustered the votes to adopt a rule governing floor debate on crypto bills and the Defense spending bill.
