House Democrats Appoint Members to GOP-led Government Efficiency Subcommittee

House Democrats have appointed members to the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee, led by Rep. Melanie Stansbury from New Mexico. The subcommittee, established through an executive order by President Donald Trump, aims to reduce government waste and enhance transparency in federal spending. Stansbury and fellow Democrats, including Reps. Stephen Lynch, Robert Garcia, Greg Casar, and Jasmine Crockett, have expressed their commitment to protecting critical federal programs from potential GOP cuts. They emphasized a readiness to collaborate across party lines while also preparing to oppose measures they perceive as harmful. The Republican side of the subcommittee includes notable members like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who will chair the panel, alongside others committed to efficiency reforms. Democrats have warned that if DOGE becomes a tool for political agendas rather than genuine efficiency, they will actively resist such efforts.
