Trump took a victory lap after Congress formally passed his measure to claw back previously approved funding, including $1.1 billion for PBS and NPR.

The U.S. Senate approved the judicial nominations of Emil Bove and Jeannine Pirro. Democrats walked out of the meeting when they weren't allowed to speak.

Washington — The Senate could move forward as soon as Tuesday on a request from the White House to claw back $9.4 billion in funds for international aid and public broadcasting as Congress faces a Friday deadline to act.

The House narrowly passed the rescission request package in early hours of Friday morning. The bill, which claws back $9 billion in public media funding and foreign aid, now goes to President Trump for his signature.

Bills were filed in January in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House to make daylight saving time permanent. Since then, though, no action has been taken.

After years pressing to end U.S. aid to Ukraine, many Republicans have abandoned that position now that President Trump is supporting the country against Russian aggression.

GOP senators said they would remove $400 million in cuts to PEPFAR from the rescissions proposal, which targets foreign aid and public broadcasting, ahead of a Friday deadline.
