The Senate is barrelling toward a vote on Trump’s latest attempt to claw back billions in congressionally approved funding for life-saving programs that serve communities across the globe.
These cuts aren’t just cruel, they’re shortsighted and dangerous. If the Senate moves forward, programs that fight hunger, reduce poverty, support public health, and stabilize conflict zones — the very things that help prevent war, displacement, and instability — would be gutted.
But here’s the thing: The margins in the Senate are razor thin — and the clock is ticking. But right now, a handful of key Republicans are expressing concern with these cuts — and if they fail to pass the package by Friday, Trump’s request disappears.
