GOP-backed spending cuts could have severe federal agency impacts.

Nearly 20 federal agencies have warned of the potential impact of steep spending cuts included in a Republican-backed proposal. The agencies wrote letters warning of what a return to 2022 spending levels would mean for their offices next year. House Republicans have yet to release their official budget plan, but the letters come as Republicans have voiced support for budget caps. Democrats have attacked Republicans for proposed across-the-board cuts to spending, as a partisan clash over the nation’s debt limit has intensified in recent weeks.
