Cammack applauds passage of $9 billion Rescissions Package

July 18, 2025

Press release from the Office of Rep. Kat Cammack

Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Senate-amended version of H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act of 2025, which eliminates $9 billion in wasteful spending uncovered by DOGE. This legislation now heads to President Trump’s desk for his signature.
 
“The American people are tired of footing the bill for unchecked government agencies, watching their hard-earned money shipped overseas, and funding woke nonsense disguised as policy,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “This rescissions package is just the beginning, but it’s a critical step toward restoring fiscal sanity in Washington and putting American taxpayers back in the driver’s seat. I’m proud to stand with President Trump and my Republican colleagues to ensure our federal budget works for the American people—not against them.”
 
Congresswoman Cammack has championed the fight to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, by co-authoring the Defund NPR Act alongside Senator Jim Banks to stop the flow of taxpayer dollars to politically biased media outlets. The Rescissions Act of 2025 builds on that effort, clawing back billions in federal funding identified as waste by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), including:

  • $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), including NPR and PBS
  • $135 million to the World Health Organization
  • $18 million to improve gender diversity in Mexican street lighting
  • $4.4 million for a Melanesian Youth Climate Corps
  • $3.9 million for LGBTQI+ advocacy in the Western Balkans
  • $2.5 million to teach children about environmentally friendly “reproductive health” choices
  • $300,000 for a pride parade in Lesotho
  • $500,000 for electric buses in Rwanda
  • $500,000 for a gender equality and empowerment hub
  • $33,000 for LGBT programming in the Caribbean
  • $8,000 to promote vegan food in Zambia

  • This is excellent. Defund PBS and NPR.

    By keeping the public uneducated and clueless, there will still be people stupid enough to vote for Kat.

  • The wasteful spending is the paychecks politicians receive for doing little to nothing because they’re so engrossed with partisan politics.

    Introduce a bill to implement term limits for every publicly elected office in Washington, D.C. No one should have a lifetime salary or benefits, and they should definitely not go to Washington as paupers and leave as multi-millionaires.

  • That’s about all she does is stand. Her and Rutherford are about as useless as a screen door on a submarine.
    That’s all the wasted tax payers money they could get back? Something smells rotten about that.

  • Kat doesn’t mention that these budget cuts all went to pay part of the tax cuts that Elon and buddies are getting most of. We’re borrowing the rest.

      • Sorry Elon, but you’re currently collecting $8 million a day in federal subsidies, without this latest tax cut.

  • Kat Cammack is a lying, corrupt, HYPOCRITE, maggot moron.

    Applauding cutting funds for SESAME STREET, NPR, PBS & Non Profit Public Media.

    LOSERS.

    VOTE THESE LOSERS LIKE KAT OUT !!!!
