Rescissions Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. MACE. Mr. Speaker, under President Donald Trump's leadership, this rescissions package codifies $9.4 billion in DOGE cuts by canceling some of the most egregious Biden-era waste, fraud, and abuse.

Here is just some of the funding that we are canceling today: $4 million for sedentary migrants in Colombia; $3 million for circumcision, vasectomies, and condoms in Zambia; $5.1 million to strengthen the resilience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer global movements; $3 million for Iraqi ``Sesame Street''; $2.5 million for teaching young children how to make environmentally friendly reproductive health decisions; and $833,000 for services for transgender people, sex workers and their clients, and sexual networks in Nepal.

The American people are begging Congress to get off its ass, codify the DOGE cuts, and stop this taxpayer-funded nonsense. Failure is not an option.
