President Trump vowed to make budget cuts from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) permanent, despite pushback from some Senate Republicans. The Senate is currently debating the "Big Beautiful Bill," which includes significant cuts but faces internal party conflict.
Trump highlighted specific cuts, such as $101 million from DEI contracts and $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms.

The administration may also explore executive options, which could lead to legal challenges.
