GOP lawmakers uneasy about package to codify DOGE cuts ahead of House vote this week
Multiple Republican lawmakers are voicing concerns about backing a high-profile measure later this week to codify Elon Musk's DOGE cuts – raising questions about whether it can pass the House at all. Two Republicans – Reps. Mark Amodei of Nevada and Nicole Malliotakis of New York – separately told CNN they have concerns with the White House's push to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. 'Still mulling,' Amodei said when asked if he would support the package of cuts. 'The impact on local PBS stations appears to be significant.' Other Republicans have heartburn about how it could cut the Bush-era program, PEPFAR, devoted to fighting HIV and AIDS globally. 'If it cuts PEPFAR like they're saying it is, that's not good,' GOP Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told CNN last week. House GOP leaders plan to put the package of cuts, totaling $9.4 billion, on the floor as soon as Thursday, according to two people familiar with the plans. But Speaker Mike Johnson will need near unanimity in his conference for the package to pass the House, where he can only lose three votes. Johnson said on Monday that he's 'working on' getting enough votes for the Department of Government Efficiency spending cuts package he hopes to bring to the floor this week. 'The only concern I heard initially was some wanted a little more specificity and detail on what was in the package,' Johnson continued. Asked how he would persuade members that wanted more specificity in the package, Johnson replied, 'I'm gathering up all their questions and we'll try to get them all answered. I mean, that's what we do in every piece of legislation.' If it can survive the House, it will face major obstacles in the Senate. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine told CNN on Monday that she has major misgivings about the global health cuts, including PEPFAR. 'I think we can change it. We're still figuring out what the set rules are,' Collins said. The White House sent its long-awaited spending cuts request to Congress as it seeks to formalize a slew of DOGE slashes to federal funding. The $9.4 billion package – known as 'rescissions' on Capitol Hill – would claw back previously appropriated government funding. The move to cancel the funding through Congress would insulate the administration from legal challenges related to its cuts to federal funding. Johnson said on Monday, 'We'd like to do multiple rescissions packages, and this first one I'm sure will be successful.' This initial request, however, is far more limited in scope than the more than $1 trillion in spending cuts that DOGE has promised. The lengthy time it took the White House to send over a first round of cuts underscores the uphill battle for even a Republican-led Congress to codify DOGE's work. CNN's Molly English contributed to this report.

CNN host compares Trump to an arsonist calling the fire department for sending National Guard to Los Angeles
CNN's Dana Bash compared President Donald Trump to an arsonist calling the fire department on Monday because of his decision to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to help quell the riots over deportations of illegal immigrants. "I know this is a promise that he gave on the campaign trail to do whatever he could to deport illegal immigrants," Bash said during her show, "Inside Politics With Dana Bash." "But what you just posted is basically an arsonist saying, 'I better call the fire department because they got to come in fast to get the flames out," she added. "That seems like what's going on." Ny Times Says 'Real Emergency' Is Trump Sending Troops To Los Angeles In a Monday post on TruthSocial referenced by Bash, Trump defended his decision to send 2,000 National Guard troops to the Los Angeles area over the weekend to respond to the riots. "We made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California," Trump said in the post. "If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated. The very incompetent 'Governor,' Gavin Newscum, and 'Mayor,' Karen Bass, should be saying, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR.'" Read On The Fox News App Footage of the riots shows people spitting on and burning the American flag as well as assaulting police officers and setting cars on fire. Rioters also smashed the windows of the Los Angeles Police Department's headquarters. The rioting began on Friday, the same day LA Mayor Karen Bass called out Trump for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids detaining illegal immigrants. "This morning, we received reports of federal immigration enforcement actions in multiple locations in Los Angeles," Bass said in a Friday statement. "As Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place," she added. "These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city. My Office is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations. We will not stand for this." Newsom's Office Compares La Riots Against Federal Agents To Sports Celebrations Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., posted on Monday that the Trump administration is "baiting unrest instead of working to bring our nation together." Califonria Gov. Gavin Newsom, D., also blamed the Trump administration for the unrest, posting on social media Monday, "Let's get this straight: 1) Local law enforcement didn't need help. 2) Trump sent troops anyway – to manufacture chaos and violence. 3) Trump succeeded. 4) Now things are destabilized and we need to send in more law enforcement just to clean up Trump's mess."Original article source: CNN host compares Trump to an arsonist calling the fire department for sending National Guard to Los Angeles
