Gillibrand SLAMS Russell Vought: Calls Trump’s Cuts “An Absurdity

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand didn’t hold back when she confronted Russell Vought over the Trump administration’s controversial rescissions package. In a fiery exchange, Gillibrand exposed how these budget cuts threaten bipartisan priorities, weaken America’s national security, and even risk ceding global influence to China and Russia.

This isn’t just about numbers on a spreadsheet — it’s about whether Congress keeps its constitutional “power of the purse” or hands it over to the executive branch. Gillibrand’s sharp rebuke put that fundamental question front and center, warning Republicans that their own constituents will pay the price if these cuts move forward.

Was Gillibrand right to call this package an “absurdity”? Or is Vought correct that Congress still has the final say? Let’s unpack what’s at stake for America — and why this showdown matters far beyond Washington.
