Trump rescinds nearly $1 billion in federal funding without Congress
Original: Trump rescinds nearly $1B in federal funding, bypassing Congress
President Trump has moved to rescind nearly $1 billion in previously approved federal funding, acting without congressional approval. The decision bypasses the legislature's power of the purse and is likely to draw criticism from lawmakers who say the executive branch is overstepping its authority, while supporters may frame it as cutting wasteful spending.
Why now: The sheer scale of the funding cut and its unilateral nature raise fresh concerns about executive power and separation of powers.
