The U.S. House voted Thursday on a rescission bill to claw back money for foreign aid programs, along with the next two years of funding for the public media system. The measure now goes to the Senate.

The White House’s $9.4 billion rescissions package may not have the votes heading into Thursday, as at least four centrist House Republicans have expressed concerns over cementing cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency.

BEMIDJI, Minn. - Protesters holding “Save PBS” signs and singing the Sesame Street theme song were met with the constant honking of drivers at a busy intersection in Bemidji Tuesday. Lakeland PBS in Bemidji recently joined the national PBS organization as a plaintiff in its lawsuit against Trump for his executive order killing federal funding for public broadcasting.

The judge ruled against the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but the complicated ruling still gave them a victory.

The local radio station is holding the marathon broadcast to bring awareness to the public funding it, as well as many other stations, rely on from being cut as part of a Republican-led recession package.

House Republicans are facing an uncertain vote Thursday on legislation codifying cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Democrats are all expected to vote against the White House request — known as a rescissions package — to claw back north of $9 billion in funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid.
