The new rule would essentially attempt to force groups to adopt discriminatory policies as a condition for funding.#Foreignaid

The #legislation to fund the #State Dept & other #ForeignAid programs alone provides over $19B more than Trump’s request — though it would constitute a cut of $9B below current levels.
The #USAGM, the parent broadcaster that includes #VoiceOfAmerica, which the #Trump admin has sought to dismantle, is set to receive about $653M. That is half a billion more than what #Trump requested to “support the orderly shutdown” of the agency. Lawmakers previously provided $867M to the broadcaster.
#Congress is quietly rejecting almost all of the deepest #cuts to federal programs that #Trump requested for this year, turning back his efforts to slash #funding for #ForeignAid, #GlobalHealth programs, #scientific #research, the #arts & more in a bipartisan repudiation of his #spending plans.
