While Duffy praised the rule for ending what he called an 'illegal mandate that forced automakers to produce more expensive electric vehicles,' NHTSA previously estimated the 2024 standards would save 14 billion gallons of gasoline by 2050 and more than offset upfront costs through long-term fuel savings. The rollback arrives as the Iran war has driven U.S. gas prices to an average of $4.48 per gallon, with auto industry analysts warning automakers will use the relaxed standards to pad profit margins rather than lower car prices and environmental groups warning that 'less fuel-efficient cars mean more gas burned, spending more at the pump and dirtier air in our communities.'

In higher education, the package eliminates $69.6 million of the $70.3 million appropriated for Higher Education Act Title VI international education domestic programs—which the administration dismissed as 'woke and wasteful projects'—and cuts roughly half of the $52 million for competitive grants in the Education Department's Special Programs for Migrant Students, including the College Assistance Migrant Program, claiming they 'subsidize aliens to come to the United States at the expense of American children and workers.' The clawbacks also slash $567 million from Health and Human Services refugee and unaccompanied minor programs, $28 million in HHS research grants, $10 million from the Minority Business Development Agency, $9 million in foreign climate debt relief, a Justice Department office focused on reducing racial tensions, and HUD housing counseling services.
