Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to social media on Wednesday to try to reassure her followers that DOGE cuts would, in fact, soon be codified by the GOP-led House.
Greene’s comments come after Elon Musk, who led DOGE, told CBS that he’s “disappointed” by the House’s Trump-backed “big, beautiful” budget bill, arguing it “undermines the work the DOGE team is doing.”
Many conservative critics have slammed the House GOP for continuing to fund the government at the same levels as the previous Congress and failing to implement DOGE’s cuts on a permanent basis.
Greene, who chairs the DOGE subcommittee in the House, wrote on X, “I was just told that we are going to see the first DOGE cuts bill on Monday.”
“Foreign aid and NPR/CPB on the chopping block,” she added, referring to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees PBS, as well as hundreds of public radio and local TV stations.
“I have not seen the bill yet, but I’m just passing on what they told me,” Greene continued, adding:
Personally I want to pass DOGE cuts every single week until the bloated out of control government is reigned back in.
As a country, we cannot survive our national debt and honestly, we may be past the point of return. We should be aggressively attacking our debt and aggressively, cutting all waste fraud, and abuse and unnecessary programs.
Our future literally is in peril.
The Republican Party has been divided in recent weeks between those pushing Trump’s domestic agenda and the party’s fiscal hawks, who warn of runaway spending under Trump’s policies.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) warned on Tuesday of increased inflation from the Trump-backed budget bill and argued that the D.C. “swamp” had beaten Musk’s DOGE.
“DOGE and Elon were on a collision course with the Swamp. And the question is, what would happen? And I don’t think there’s any question that DOGE fought the Swamp, and so far the Swamp has won. And that’s just unfortunate, but I don’t think you can look at this any other way,” DeSantis told reporters.
