Trump Proposes New Government Agency Led by Musk

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) expressed amusement at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) appointment to chair a House Oversight subcommittee in collaboration with the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Ocasio-Cortez mocked Greene's appointment on social media, suggesting Greene's lack of engagement with policy work renders her ineffective in her new role. Greene's appointment comes after a controversial past that led to her removal from committee assignments during her first term. Meanwhile, Trump and his appointees Musk and Ramaswamy plan to use impoundment to cut federal spending, a move that could challenge existing legal frameworks and expand executive power. The new subcommittee aims to address government inefficiencies and reduce federal spending, aligning with Trump's broader administrative goals.
