WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), founding member of the Senate DOGE Caucus, released the following statement after the Senate passed President Trump’s rescissions package, which will codify the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cuts to rein in frivolous spending and root out fraud and abuse throughout the federal government:
“With this rescissions package, President Trump has offered Congress a historic opportunity to rein in frivolous spending identified through the good work of DOGE and ensure Texans’ taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly,” said Sen. Cornyn. “These rescissions exemplify key priorities of the Trump agenda – rooting out wokeism, eliminating fraud, and putting the fiscal interests of hardworking Americans back at the forefront of our policymaking – and I was glad to vote in favor of them.”
