Marjorie Taylor Greene to Chair Oversight Subcommittee

House Republicans have announced the formation of a new subcommittee to investigate waste and inefficiency in the federal government, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene set to chair it. This initiative aligns with the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aiming to streamline government operations and cut unnecessary spending. Greene emphasized the subcommittee's role in exposing ineffective bureaucrats and holding hearings to promote transparency. The efforts come as part of a broader agenda proposed by former President Trump to reduce federal expenditures, with Musk estimating potential savings of at least $2 trillion. Meanwhile, Alaska Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola lost her reelection bid, following a centrist campaign that included support for controversial projects like the Willow Project. Peltola's defeat illustrates the shifting political landscape as Republicans regain control over previously Democratic-held seats.
