Marjorie Taylor Greene to Chair New DOGE Oversight Subcommittee 👉 Updatem News

Greene said subcommittee will hold hearings to give ’transparency and truth to the American people.’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will chair a House subcommittee with congressional oversight of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Greene confirmed the news on social media platform X, writing that it is “BIG NEWS.”

“We will identify and investigate the waste, corruption and absolutely useless parts of our federal government,” Greene told Fox News.

She also told the outlet that the subcommittee will hold hearings to give “transparency and truth to the American people.”

DOGE will be led by entrepreneur and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

“Looking forward to working together with Congress. Proper oversight of agencies & public transparency are critical,” posted Ramaswamy on X.

Trump announced on Nov. 12 the creation of the new efficiency department, which operate outside of the government. He said it could become the “Manhattan Project of our time,” a reference to the initiative of scientists that produced the atomic bomb that ended World War II.

Trump said the department will “pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies.”

It will also “drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to government never seen before,” he said.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Nov. 20, Musk and Ramaswamy wrote that DOGE will focus on “regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions and cost savings” and “focus particularly on driving change through executive action based on existing legislation rather than by passing new laws.”

They said the department will recommend to Trump regulations to undo or pause.

“The use of executive orders to substitute for lawmaking by adding burdensome new rules is a constitutional affront, but the use of executive orders to roll back regulations that wrongly bypassed Congress is legitimate and necessary to comply with the Supreme Court’s recent mandates,” they wrote.

Moreover, DOGE will target the federal contractor market, said Musk and Ramaswamy.

“Many federal contracts have gone unexamined for years. Large-scale audits conducted during a temporary suspension of payments would yield significant savings,” they wrote.

Trump has set a sunset date on the department’s work of July 4, 2026—the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.
