It comes as Elon Musk’s time leading President Donald Trump’s DOGE effort comes to an end, with the tech billionaire shifting his focus back to Tesla and his other private ventures after his billions of dollars in proposed spending cuts drove a partisan wedge through Congress.
"Passing this rescissions package will be an important demonstration of Congress’s willingness to deliver on DOGE and the Trump agenda," the statement continued.
"While the Swamp will inevitably attempt to slow and kill these cuts, there is no excuse for a Republican House not to advance the first DOGE rescissions package the same week it is presented to Congress then quickly send it for passage in the Republican Senate, so President Trump can sign it into law."
The White House is expected to send its $9.4 billion spending cuts package to Congress on Tuesday.
The proposal is called a "rescissions package," a vehicle for the president to block funds that were already allocated by Congress in its yearly appropriations process. Once transmitted to Capitol Hill, lawmakers have 45 days to take it up before it's voided.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., noted both deadlines in an appearance on NBC News’ "Meet The Press" on Sunday.
"We're going to have a second budget reconciliation bill that follows after this, and we're beginning next week the appropriations process, which is the spending bills for government. And you're going to see a lot of the DOGE cuts and a lot of this new fiscal restraint reflected in what Congress does next. So stay tuned, this is not the end-all, be-all," he said of the reconciliation bill.
Johnson said on X Friday that "Congress is working with the White House to codify DOGE savings to stop government misuse and misspending of our tax dollars."
