Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., recently discussed her new role leading a House Oversight subcommittee focused on cutting government waste in collaboration with the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The department, a brainchild of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, has already begun drawing attention from both sides of the political aisle as it prepares to tackle inefficiencies in federal spending.

In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Greene, who was appointed by Kentucky Rep. James Comer to chair the subcommittee, outlined her aggressive agenda for the new initiative.

One of her primary targets is National Public Radio (NPR), a publicly funded media outlet she criticized for spreading what she described as “Democrat propaganda.”

Greene vowed to scrutinize NPR and other government-funded media programs as part of DOGE’s efforts to ensure taxpayer money is being used efficiently.

“We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda, we’ll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex apps in Malaysia, toilets in Africa,” Greene told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

She emphasized that DOGE’s mission will extend beyond media outlets like NPR, targeting a broad range of federal spending she believes does not benefit the American people.

Greene’s comments about NPR come amid ongoing debates over its funding structure.

While NPR receives a portion of its funding from corporate sponsorships, dues, and fees paid by member stations, it also receives taxpayer dollars.

Critics like Greene argue that no public funding should go toward an outlet they perceive as biased toward left-wing viewpoints.

In addition to NPR, Greene expressed concern over the Pentagon’s continued failure to pass its annual audits. “I want to talk to the people at the Pentagon and ask them why they can’t find billions of dollars every single year and why they fail their audit,” Greene stated.

This comment highlights her broader agenda to hold federal agencies accountable for their financial management, a theme that will likely be central to DOGE’s mission.

DOGE, which will be working to identify and eliminate wasteful government spending, is expected to focus on areas ranging from unnecessary grants to inefficient programs within federal agencies.

Greene also voiced her intention to hold local leaders accountable, specifically targeting governors and mayors of sanctuary cities and states that she believes are misusing taxpayer funds by harboring illegal immigrants.

She emphasized the need for transparency and fiscal responsibility across all levels of government.

As Greene prepares to take the reins of the subcommittee, there is growing anticipation surrounding the work of DOGE.

The department, which will officially begin operations in 2025, is expected to face pushback from entrenched bureaucrats and public sector employees who have long been insulated from scrutiny.

Greene and her colleagues in DOGE are promising to challenge wasteful spending and hold officials accountable for inefficient use of public funds.

Greene’s new role represents a significant shift in how Congress will approach fiscal oversight in the coming years.

With Musk and Ramaswamy’s involvement in the development of DOGE, the department is expected to challenge long-standing practices within the federal bureaucracy.

Given the political sensitivity surrounding NPR and similar government-funded initiatives, the next few years will likely see heated debates over the allocation of taxpayer dollars and the role of government-funded media.

While DOGE’s work is still in its early stages, it has already sparked considerable interest and concern, particularly among those who rely on government funding or benefit from long-standing programs.

As the team prepares to begin their work in 2025, it’s clear that changes to federal spending—and the public institutions that rely on it—are on the horizon.

For Greene, the push to rein in wasteful spending is a key part of her broader mission to ensure government accountability and promote more efficient use of taxpayer funds.
