House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) shared enthusiasm for the upcoming $9.4 billion rescission package Congress will be voting on, arguing that “more of these” need to be done in the future.

Following President Donald Trump’s establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency on Jan. 20, DOGE has saved $175 billion in government waste as of May 26. The White House is transferring a new rescission bill for the House of Representatives to vote on, which Jordan described as “a good start” for enacting these savings.

“I would prefer we had a DOGE thing every week, every day,” Jordan explained on Fox News’s The Faulkner Focus, guest-hosted by Bill Melugin. “I still remember when the president did his joint address to Congress. I thought it was a great speech, but I thought the best part of the speech was when he just rattled off all the stupid things American tax money was being spent on. He had that long list. I wish we’d be taking every one of those items and had been doing this, but I appreciate what’s coming now.”

This rescission package includes $1.1 billion in cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which runs the Public Broadcasting Service and National Public Radio. Jordan recalled how NPR CEO Katherine Maher had told the House Oversight Committee that her network is not biased, a claim he scoffed at since one of NPR’s reporters had examined that the network’s 87 editors in the Washington D.C. area consisted of “zero Republicans.”

Jordan said he is not expecting any Democratic lawmakers to join Republicans in supporting this rescission package, citing how the opposing party “love NPR” and other “Democrat propaganda networks.” Despite this, he suggested House Republicans can unify their thin majority to pass this, adding that it is “not fair for taxpayers” to pay for NPR.

DOGE recently hit a speed bump after Elon Musk, a Trump ally and a major DOGE advocate, departed from the department last month. Prior to his departure from the Trump administration, Musk assured that DOGE “will have a good effect on the future.”

In the wake of Musk leaving DOGE, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has suggested that Congress could subpoena the Tesla CEO if Democrats win control of the House in 2026.
