House ADVANCES First Round of DOGE Cuts — Lone Republican Sides With Dems To Vote “No”

[Conservative Angle]

​

Here’s some great news: the House of Representatives voted today to advance the first round of DOGE cuts.

A move to advance the bill — which was proposed by President Trump and includes a whopping $9.3 billion in spending cuts from agencies like USAID, NPR, and PBS — passed 213-207.

It’s now headed to a full House vote.

Fox News reported:

President Donald Trump’s $9.4 billion spending cuts package survived a key hurdle on Wednesday afternoon, setting the measure up for a final House-wide vote later this week.

Trump’s proposal, which was introduced as legislation by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., would cut $8.3 billion from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and just over $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting distributes federal funding to NPR and PBS.

The House of Representatives made a procedural motion known as a “rule vote,” which passed mostly along party lines.

The rule passing now allows for debate on the $9.4 billion spending cut measure, followed by a final House-wide vote.

Well this is great, you might think.

We finally have a bill that all Republicans can get behind! Right?

For the most part, yes.

The vote was largely along party lines.

However, one, sole Republican sided with Democrats against the bill to cut billions of dollars in spending.

That Congressman was Rep. Thomas Massie.

HOLY SH*T

Rep Thomas Massie voted ‘NO’ on $9,400,000,000.00 of D.O.G.E. cuts today…

I just have one question: what the heck, Massie?

Recall that Rep. Massie also voted against President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

At the time, his reasoning was that it didn’t include DOGE cuts.

Well, now we have a bill explicitly for DOGE cuts, and Massie is still a no.

What gives?

Thomas Massie is so into cutting spending that he voted against DOGE cutting spending today. pic.twitter.com/qEpI1tHUo7

Bad Hombre made a great point here:

Let me get this straight: Thomas Massie voted with every Democrat against the BBB because it didn’t include any DOGE spending cuts and raised the debt ceiling — even though he previously voted to raise the debt ceiling under Joe Biden.

Then today, the same Thomas Massie again…

Let me get this straight: Thomas Massie voted with every Democrat against the BBB because it didn’t include any DOGE spending cuts and raised the debt ceiling — even though he previously voted to raise the debt ceiling under Joe Biden.

Then today, the same Thomas Massie again sided with every Democrat to oppose $9.4 billion in DOGE spending cuts — because the recissions package also included a resolution that makes further spending cuts to BBB, the very thing he claimed he wanted.

So no, it’s not about spending cuts.

It’s about his terminal TDS.

Primary him.
