On federal spending, Donald Trump's team says it wants less bipartisanship, while expressing indifference to Congress’ existence. That's not sustainable.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives early on Friday passed President Donald Trump's $9 billion funding cut to public media and foreign aid, sending it to the White House to be signed into law.

The Trump administration is withholding billions in education funding that was supposed to be distributed earlier this month. Democrats and some Republicans are urging the White House to reverse course.

Sen. Thom Tillis stood on the Senate floor and warned White House aides to tread carefully as they cut foreign aid and to remember the promises they made to get a rescission bill approved by senators.

Two GOP Senators voted against the measures criticizing the lack of clarity on which programs will be affected by the claw backs.

OMB chief Russell Vought expressed excitement that Congress appeared to be on the verge of codifying into law roughly $9 billion in cuts.

Friday's action marks first time in decades lawmakers have agreed to a White House request to claw back funding Congress previously approved.

"Though the House and Senate have much still to debate on full-year appropriations, this much is clear: Congress is rejecting the full extent of the unprecedented, unstrategic, and wasteful cuts to NASA and NASA science proposed by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget," the Planetary Society said in a statement.

White House budget chief Russell Vought said Thursday that the administration is likely to send another rescissions package to Congress to claw back previously approved spending. Vought’s comments
