Don’t Expect Journos To Celebrate JD’s Tiebreakers The Way They Celebrated Kamala’s
Even with RINO opposition, Trump's Senate budget cuts are moving forward
They’re called ‘rescissions’. They are the tool that allows the GOP to make key cuts that didn’t qualify for the Big Beautiful Bill under the 51-vote method.
It should surprise exactly nobody that elected politicians are reluctant to cut federal spending, since federal spending is the very essence of a federal politician’s power.
For the left, DOGE has exposed it as far more than that, it is, at least in part, an elaborate money laundering scheme for leveraging taxpayer dollars to fund leftwing priorities and NGOs, who (in turn) fund Democrat attempts to perpetuate their power.
When DOGE started uncovering all of these schemes, the left (elected and media types alike) squealed like stuck pigs. That’s about the time they started burning down Tesla dealerships.
The Big Beautiful Bill contained none of DOGE’s big cuts, mostly because of the rules limitations inherent in the existing reconciliation process. And that was the cruz of the recent fight between Elon and Trump. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other tools in the toolbelt to make those cuts happen.
We’re seeing the first of them now, with PBS, NPR, and USAID on the legislative chopping block.
And none other than JD Vance is helping to drag it over the finish line.
BREAKING 🚨 JD Vance just BROKE THE TIE in the Senate advancing $9 Billion in D.O.G.E. Cuts 🔥
PBS, NPR and USAID will be bankrupted soon

It may be ‘only’ $9 Billion. But it’s a step in the right direction… with more to come.
The final vote is still to come, later today (if you are reading this on Wednesday morning). But the vote-counters sound confident that the same 50 that advanced the vote will hold strong so that JD can break the tie and make it happen.
It wasn’t so long ago that Kamala spent much of her time in the Senate, breaking ties in a 50-50 senate where unqualified nominees got appointed and legislation for which they had ZERO strong or obvious national mandate was crammed down American taxpayer’s throats. (Had the official election result gone the other way, you may recall, Pence would have been that tie-breaker and Schumer would never have held the gavel.)
When she did it, she was praised to the heavens for her ‘important’ tie-breaking votes.
Somehow, we doubt the same cheers will erupt when JD takes the ax to the neck of their beloved NPR, PBS, or *gasp* international slush fund that is USAID.
