Live updates: Senate passes Trump’s cuts to PBS, NPR, foreign aid

What to Know

  • The measure now goes back to the House, where it will need to be passed again before Trump can sign it into law. 
  • The 51-to-48 vote came over the objections of two Republicans, Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
  • The legislation, which now moves to the House, would have a tiny impact on the nation’s rising debt but could have major ramifications for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and U.S. food aid programs abroad
  • Trump faces mounting criticism from his political base over the Justice Department’s failure to release much-hyped records in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation.
  • The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote this morning on the nomination of Emil Bove to be a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The House could vote on the legislation today. Follow along for live updates.
