WASHINGTON – Last night, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) voted to pass H.Res. 590 – the first round of DOGE cuts. This critical legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives with a party-line vote of 216-213 and will head to President Trump's desk to be signed-into law.


H.Res. 590 slashes $9 billion in waste, fraud, and abuse from federal spending and specifically defunds politicized federal agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), National Public Radio (NPR), and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Congressman Donalds released the following statement:


"For years, our federal agencies were weaponized by rogue, unelected bureaucrats in order to serve the political interests of leftist ideologues. This waste, fraud, and abuse stretches deep into our federal government and has been exposed to the world through USAID's farcical expenditures and the egregious politicization of reporting at federally-funded news outlets. Our hard-earned taxpayer dollars never should have been funding this disgraceful conduct and I look forward codifying additional rounds of DOGE cuts in the future."


Watch passage of H.Res. 590 here.
