The Republican-led Senate has voted in favor of Trump’s plan to claw back $9 billion in already-approved funding for foreign aid and public media. The cuts would have a minimal impact on the national debt but could be a death knell to vital programs addressing global health, emergency food and shelter assistance, peacekeeping and economic development — as well as to public broadcasters. Two Republicans, Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, joined Democrats in opposing the rescissions bill in an early-morning vote of 51 to 48. The legislation now heads to the Republican-controlled House.
