John Thune R-SDThe House could vote on final passage of the Trump administration's rescission package, which claws back $9 billion in funds allocated for public media and foreign aid, as early as Thursday evening.

The Senate approved the measure in the small hours of Thursday morning. The House approved an earlier version last month, but must vote to adopt the Senate changes.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting stands to lose $1.1 billion meant to fund it through the next two years, while the bill also cuts $7.9 billion in other programs. CPB acts as a conduit for federal money to NPR, PBS and their member stations.
