Senators Seek to Limit Trump Budget Office Power

“Senate Republicans are close to cutting a deal with their Democratic counterparts to avoid a government shutdown and rein in a proposed rule from the White House budget office that would give Trump appointees more power to withhold congressional appropriations,” NewsNation reports.

“GOP lawmakers are desperate to avoid another shutdown before the election, but any proposal to quash President Donald Trump’s ability to hold up federal money from going to programs the administration deems ‘woke’ could draw the president’s opposition and scuttle a funding deal.”
