Greene Chairs New Government Efficiency Subcommittee

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is set to chair the newly formed subcommittee, Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE), working alongside Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to reduce federal spending and bureaucracy. Initiated by President-elect Donald Trump, this subcommittee aims to cut $500 billion of unauthorized federal expenditures, leveraging Supreme Court rulings to challenge overreaching regulations. Despite questions about their authority, Musk and Ramaswamy emphasize executive action over new legislation, focusing on regulatory and administrative reforms. This initiative seeks to bring transparency and efficiency to government operations, with potential mass federal job cuts and closures anticipated. Greene and the DOGE team plan to provide oversight and recommendations to the Trump administration, aligning with Trump's 'drain the swamp' agenda. This strategy represents a shift in the House Oversight Committee's focus after previous investigations into the Biden administration.
