From Washington: DOGE Disrupts DC

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Republicans in the House and Senate are racing against each other to deliver a big legislative win for President Donald Trump. Lawmakers plan to use a budget reconciliation process to advance a bill extending the president's tax cuts from his first term and make major spending cuts promised during the campaign. At the same time, the Department of Government Efficiency is vowing to remove what it sees as wasteful and fraudulent spending, upsetting Democrats who say they control the power of the purse. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to break it all down and what it means moving forward.  On Tuesday, President Trump called for a United States takeover of Gaza, intending to level and rebuild the area. U.S. allies in the Middle East quickly opposed the plan that would displace Palestinian citizens and instead emphasized the need for a two-state solution. U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus outlines the President's proposal and details how the administration's 'outcome-oriented' approach will help bring a path forward in the Middle East.
