Multiple Republican lawmakers are voicing concerns about backing a high-profile measure later this week to codify Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts – raising questions about whether it can pass the House at all.

Two Republicans – Reps. Mark Amodei of Nevada and Nicole Malliotakis of New York – separately told CNN they have concerns with the White House’s push to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

“Still mulling,” Amodei said when asked if he would support the package of cuts. “The impact on local PBS stations appears to be significant.”

Other Republicans have heartburn about how it could cut the Bush-era program, PEPFAR, devoted to fighting HIV and AIDS globally.

“If it cuts PEPFAR like they’re saying it is, that’s not good,” GOP Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told CNN last week.

House GOP leaders plan to put the package of cuts, totaling $9.4 billion, on the floor as soon as Thursday, according to two people familiar with the plans.

But Speaker Mike Johnson will need near unanimity in his conference for the package to pass the House, where he can only lose three votes.

Johnson said on Monday that he’s “working on” getting enough votes for the Department of Government Efficiency spending cuts package he hopes to bring to the floor this week.

“The only concern I heard initially was some wanted a little more specificity and detail on what was in the package,” Johnson continued.

Asked how he would persuade members that wanted more specificity in the package, Johnson replied, “I’m gathering up all their questions and we’ll try to get them all answered. I mean, that’s what we do in every piece of legislation.”

If it can survive the House, it will face major obstacles in the Senate. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine told CNN on Monday that she has major misgivings about the global health cuts, including PEPFAR.

Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.), another senior appropriator, had a similar reaction to the White House leaving open the possibility of withholding funding that the Republican-led Congress clears in the coming months. “That’s a funny way to treat your friends,” he said in an interview.

Do repulsive-can politicians really think the toxic false orange idol has “FRIENDS?”

House Passes Trump’s $9.4 B DOGE Cuts, 214–212, Axing USAID, NPR, PBS Funds

The U.S. House of Representatives on 12 June narrowly approved President Donald Trump’s first rescissions package, a cornerstone of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) agenda once overseen by Elon Musk. The measure, passed 214–212, would cancel $9.4 billion in previously appropriated spending and now moves to the Senate, where only a simple majority is required for enactment.

Under the bill, about $8.3 billion would be withdrawn from U.S. Agency for International Development programs, while roughly $1.1 billion earmarked for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—which funds NPR and PBS—would be clawed back over the next two fiscal years. Supporters said the cuts represent an initial effort to curb wasteful spending; opponents warned they would undermine global health initiatives and eliminate free educational and emergency‐alert services provided by public media.

The final tally came after intense floor drama. Four Republicans—Reps. Mark Amodei, Brian Fitzpatrick, Nicole Malliotakis and Mike Turner—joined all Democrats in opposition, while Reps. Don Bacon and Nick LaLota switched their votes to ‘yes’ in the closing minutes, delivering the majority. A shouting match broke out on the floor during the roll call, underscoring divisions within the GOP conference.

The vote follows a 213–207 procedural victory the previous day and marks Congress’s first use of the rescission process in some 30 years. Senate leaders have not yet scheduled consideration of the bill, leaving the future of the proposed DOGE cuts—and federal support for public broadcasting and certain foreign aid programs—uncertain.

Excerpt from this story from Field & Stream:

In June of 1906, during his second Presidential term, Theodore Roosevelt signed a law granting future U.S. Presidents the power to designate or expand National Monuments on existing federal land. Known as the Antiquities Act, the bill was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by another conservation stalwart of the time, Iowa Congressman John F. Lacey. Last week, two members of the current House of Representatives unveiled a bill that would take presidential authority out of the Antiquities Act altogether.

Roosevelt used the broad powers of the Antiquities Act eighteen times to increase protections for places like the Arizona's Grand Canyon and Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Since then, U.S. Presidents have invoked the law more than 150 times, according to the Boone & Crockett Club.

With their bill, dubbed the "Ending Presidential Overreach on Public Lands Act", Representative Celeste Maloy (R) of Utah and Nevada's Mark Amodei (R) would wipe away the president's long-held power to designate and expand National Monuments and give that authority Congress. It would do so by striking a critical section from the 119-year-old Antiquities Act and amending it to read: "The establishment or extension of a national monument may be undertaken only by express authorization of Congress."

While many conservationists regard the Antiquities Act—and the presidential authorities imbedded within it—as a bedrock law for the continued protection of America's hunting and public lands legacy, it's been the subject to back-and-forth political turmoil in recent years. President Barack Obama used it to designate 1.3 million acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property at the end of his second term. When Donald Trump took office in January 2016, he reversed the Obama-era order, shrinking the so-called Bears Ears National Monument by approximately 85 percent. The Biden Administration later reversed Trump's Bears Ears reduction.

The most recent use of the Antiquities Act occurred earlier this month when the Biden Administration designated the Chuckwalla and the Sátílla National Monuments in California. Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BHA) and Trout Unlimited (TU) issued a joint statement in support of the Sátílla National Monument on Jan. 7, saying it would "better protect the extraordinary water, cultural, and sporting values of these unique public lands."

In a Jan. 16 press release, BHA condemned Amodei and Maloy's bill saying it threatens critical conservation efforts because the country's national monuments conserve large landscapes, secure vital fish and wildlife habitat, and safeguard traditional hunting and angling opportunities. "Congress alone has done very little to advance public land opportunities for hunters and anglers," BHA CEO Patrick Berry told Field & Stream. "So taking presidential authority out of the Antiquities Act would be very problematic."

The bill comes on the heels of a failed lawsuit out of Utah that could have disposed of more than 18 million acres of BLM land across the West. "We’ve heard that there is not a high likelihood that this bill would pass, but there’s no telling what could happen in any legislative process," Berry said. "Either way, it adds to the the rising anti-public lands sentiment that we're seeing. And it paints a pretty foreboding picture for people who have no other opportunities for hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation than the public lands that they’re around."

TIME Magazine Snubs Elon Musk in 2024 ‘100 Most Influential in AI’ List, Includes Scarlett Johansson

(L) Tesla CEO Elon Musk leaves the Phillip Burton Federal Building on January 24, 2023 in San Francisco, California. / (C) A protester steps on a picture of Time Magazine in 2017. / (R) Scarlett Johansson attends the “Fly Me To The Moon” photocall on July 11, 2024 in Madrid, Spain.

TIME Magazine placed actress Scarlett Johansson in the running, but left out tech mogul and AI program creator Elon Musk off of its yearly list of the “100 Most Influential People in AI.”

For its 2024 cover, the magazine combined images of eighteen AI leaders, led by Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, with a large image of the “Black Widow” hero.

Released on Thursday, the second annual TIME100 AI edition featured prominent CEOs in the rapidly expanding area, such as Dario Amodei of Anthropic and Sam Altman of OpenAI, in addition to founders and influencers.

— DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) September 5, 2024

Musk was noticeably missing from its list. Musk introduced xAI last summer, and his AI chatbot Grok has gained popularity over competitors like ChatGPT.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, whose software company has made huge investments in AI startup Anthropic and created a $500 million AI fund to support new startups, is the owner of the old magazine.

“Disclosures are included throughout the TIME100 AI list for any companies mentioned that are backed by Salesforce Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Salesforce, where TIME’s owner and co-chair, is CEO,” a Time spokesperson told reporters.

Social media backlash followed TIME’s perplexing decision to pass over the founder of SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI .

“Every person on this top 100 list, if asked, would say Elon should be on this list,” one user said on X.

The billionaire established Neuralink in 2016, and the company gained notoriety at the beginning of this year when it successfully implanted a brain chip in a paralyzed patient, enabling him to use his thoughts to surf the web and play video games.

Musk also launched Colossus, the most powerful Nvidia GPU supercomputer in the world, online this past week.

“I thought it was cute that Elon Musk wasn’t on the cover of TIME’s 100 most influential people in AI,” another user posted on X. “I had to check for myself when I heard he didn’t make the list at all. My f*cking car drives itself lol.”

Additionally, culture and media critics questioned the inclusion of YouTuber Marques Brownlee and Hollywood actor Anil Kapoor on the list of celebrities which also included actress Scarlett Johansson, who had a falling out with OpenAI over the owner’s alleged use of her voice to train a chatbot without her consent.

Rivals of Musk, such as Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Sundar Pichai of Google, and Satya Nadella of Microsoft, were also included on the list.

“If the world of AI was dominated by the emergence of startup labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and their competitors in 2023, this year, as critics and champions alike have noted, we’ve seen the outsize influence of a small number of tech giants,” said Editor in Chief Sam Jacobs. “This year’s list offers examples of the possibilities for AI when it moves out of the lab and into the world.”

According to a news release, the list was compiled by TIME’s editors and reporters, who solicited suggestions from numerous “industry executives.”

As others have said, this is now believed to have been an action by Elon Musk's team of handpicked fuckboys.

Do go ahead and comment on the NPS's feedback form, but keep in mind as you write that you are not confronting an enemy; you're supplying encouragement and ammunition for an ally to take on the actual culprit.

In addition, the relevant oversight committees for the National Part Service are the Committee on Natural Resources in the House, and Energy and Natural Resources in the Senate. They would also be in a position to do or say something about this significant, yet also weird and petty, overreach by the Trumpelon administration.

The House Committee on Natural Resources includes the following Democrats:

Raúl Grijalva, Arizona, Ranking Member Emeritus

Joe Neguse, Colorado

Teresa Leger Fernandez, New Mexico

Melanie Stansbury, New Mexico

Jared Golden, Maine

Dave Min, California

Maxine Dexter, Oregon

Pablo Hernández Rivera, Puerto Rico

Tom McClintock, California

Paul Gosar, Arizona

Amata Coleman Radewagen, American Samoa

The phone number for the committee's front office--shared by both the Majority and Minority--is 202-224-4971. Their FAQ says that there is an email link for this office on their homepage, but I am having trouble finding it.

There is a fax number, (202) 224-6163, and the mailing address is

Energy and Natural Resources Committee Office 304 Dirksen Senate Building Washington, DC 20510

(Also I think it would be 100% hilarious if a few people who live locally to the Stonewall National Monument use the Volunteer Form to offer to hang around and shout "and trans!" at appropriate moments during tours and presentations, when actual employees are not permitted to say it.)

Not to be dramatic but this is a massive fucking deal and I legitimately hope every single politician dies.

Maga FREAKS OUT After Learning What They Voted For

As others have said, this is now believed to have been an action by Elon Musk's team of handpicked fuckboys.

Do go ahead and comment on the NPS's feedback form, but keep in mind as you write that you are not confronting an enemy; you're supplying encouragement and ammunition for an ally to take on the actual culprit.

In addition, the relevant oversight committees for the National Part Service are the Committee on Natural Resources in the House, and Energy and Natural Resources in the Senate. They would also be in a position to do or say something about this significant, yet also weird and petty, overreach by the Trumpelon administration.

The House Committee on Natural Resources includes the following Democrats:

Jared Huffman, California, Ranking Member

Raúl Grijalva, Arizona, Ranking Member Emeritus

Joe Neguse, Colorado

Teresa Leger Fernandez, New Mexico

Melanie Stansbury, New Mexico

The phone number for the committee's front office--shared by both the Majority and Minority--is 202-224-4971. Their FAQ says that there is an email link for this office on their homepage, but I am having trouble finding it.

There is a fax number, (202) 224-6163, and the mailing address is
