Greene Proposes Cuts to NPR Funding

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is set to lead a new House subcommittee under the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to eliminate government waste, especially targeting programs she deems ineffective, such as NPR. During an interview on Fox News, Greene expressed her commitment to investigating every government department for wasteful spending, insisting that sanctuary cities should justify their federal funding if they protect illegal immigrants. She suggested that her committee would scrutinize various programs, from grant funding for foreign projects to the financial practices of the Pentagon. Greene's comments have revived discussions about defunding NPR, despite it receiving minimal federal funding. Critics have pointed out that her understanding of government budgetary processes may be superficial, labeling her approach as overly simplistic. Greene's rhetoric has underscored her alignment with Trump and Musk's vision for a more efficient government, promising significant cuts to federal spending.
