Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday signaled that House Republicans are “eager and ready” to formalize the White House’s so-called DOGE cuts as soon as President Donald Trump’s team makes the official request to Congress.

The White House intends to send Congress a small package as early as next week to formalize cuts made by billionaire Elon Musk's team targeting federal government spending, according to a White House official familiar with the plan.

While Trump will do everything to bring back the tariffs and implement the DOGE cuts, it's possible these setbacks won’t be political losses for him at all.

(Reuters) -Without billionaire Elon Musk in the Trump administration, his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency project is likely to sputter out, a former DOGE staffer said in his first interview since leaving the team.
