Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who has routinely voted against government spending bills, said what’s changed is Trump in the White House. Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., who has rarely voted for any continuing resolution to fund the government, said the cuts are underway.

House Republicans passed a bill to fund the government, but only after the Trump administration said it would ignore it and cut as it pleases.

The vote sets up a showdown in the Senate over a bill Democrats criticize as giving more power to President Trump and Elon Musk.

As Elon Musk's slash-and-burn budget cuts hit Republican and Democratic areas alike, some GOP lawmakers are privately back-channeling with the Trump administration to try to shield their constituents from the fallout.
