Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as new DOGE subcommittee chair

Source: CNBC via NBC Los Angeles

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has been tapped to lead a new House subcommittee that will work with the so-called Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Greene and House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., have met with Ramaswamy and his team and are "already working together," a person familiar with the matter told CNBC on Thursday.

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.

She said her panel will lead to the firings of government "bureaucrats," and vowed to "provide transparency and truth to the American people through hearings."

in the process in order to be considered for this cte.-- even though she failed.

This cte that she is joining is not a Congressionally sanctioned cte. What powers will she have being a member of a cte that is not Congressionally sanctioned? She can't use her congressional powers. All she has is her mouth.

Bannon’s lap. How does a congressperson spend most days on air, in our payroll, with an ass that hates this country openly calling to destroy it.
Anybody willing to stand by the useless oath of office? Any fucking body.
I heard her on a clip this week telling Bannon she will shred and destroy every single agency.
I am Certain she will provide the Dick Picks Gaetz sent to his victims at his hearings as she did with Biden. Maybe bring some pix from Arnold’s coffin for comparison.
But the price of fucking eggs!!!! Get a god damned chicken assholes!!! Gas here $2.69 a gallons. A dozen eggs, $3.00 average.
And I live in trump hell.
Yet they can rapid fire guns nearly every day at lib targets.
Ya know how much ammo costs?
Fucking more than eggs.
