1776 Coalition Sponsored Is Israel’s fate tied to Syria? Syria has fallen, but we are still far from seeing the last of the hostages returned. Our brave soldiers must fight to secure Israel’s borders, rid the region of emboldened attackers all over the Middle East, and adapt to the escalating threats from Syria, but Israel doesn’t have enough supplies to properly win this war. Can you support our IDF sons and daughters as they continue fighting for the Survival of the Promised Land?.

Greene and House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) have met Ramaswamy and the team and “are already working together,” according to a source familiar with the situation who spoke with CNBC Thursday.

Source: Comer plans to create the subpanel in the first quarter of next year.

Greene’s group will be dubbed the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, allowing it to share the DOGE acronym with the outside-of-government entity commissioned by President-elect Donald Trump.

Greene told CNBC that she was “excited” to be the chair of this new subcommittee, which will work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as well as the entire DOGE Team.

She promised that her panel would lead to the firing of “bureaucrats” in the government, and that it will “provide transparency and the truth to the American public through hearings.”

Greene stated that “no topic is off-limits.”

Fox News reported on Thursday that the congressional version of DOGE shares similar goals to those led by the billionaires. The person familiar with this matter said that the DOGE aims to investigate waste in government and find ways to reorganize agencies within the federal government and reduce red tape.

A spokesperson for Ramaswamy stated that “exposing the problem to public is an important step in driving greater efficiency within government.”

The spokesperson stated that “we are grateful to the House Oversight Committee for creating a DOGE Subcommittee in order to focus on these efforts.” “We are looking forward to working with you.”

In a Fox Business interview on Thursday, Comer stated: “We are going to work closely with Elon Musk & Ramaswamy.”

Comer, who criticized “too much fat in government,” vowed to get his committee’s “chopping blocks going.”

Trump revealed on Nov. 12 that he had tapped Musk, the world’s richest man and a top backer of Trump’s presidential campaign, and entrepreneur Ramaswamy to lead the government-efficiency group. The initials “DOGE” are reminiscent of an internet meme, and a cryptocurrency Musk, CEO of Tesla, and SpaceX has often promoted.

Trump’s announcement stated that the group would not be an official government department, but will instead provide “advice and direction” to the White House and Office of Management and Budget.

Musk and Ramaswamy complained in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published on Wednesday that “most government decisions, including discretionary spending, are not made by the democratically-elected president or his political appointees, but by millions unelected and unappointed civil service employees.”

Musk and Ramaswamy are both unelected and said that they will “advise DOGE to pursue three main types of reform at every stage: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions and costs savings”.

Greene is currently a member of the Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations, Federal Workforce and other panels.

The House voted in the previous Congress to remove Greene from her committees as a punishment for her history promoting fringe conspiracy theories.
