Trump's $9 billion rescissions package is advancing, despite a trio of Republican defections. It targets foreign aid and public broadcasting funding.

The Senate burns the midnight oil hoping to pass Trump’s spending agenda, the man accused of fatally stabbing four college students in Idaho appears to have accepted a plea deal, and the city of Los Angeles is again engrossed in a legal battle over immigration.

Elon Musk criticized Trump's revised spending bill, especially its impact on clean energy production, in multiple X posts over the weekend.

Congress had until the end of day on Friday to pass the rescissions request, or the funding would have had to be spent as originally intended.
