Chairwoman Greene Leads Letter Urging Appropriations Committee to Codify DOGE Cuts and Slash Wasteful Federal Spending

Today, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE), led a letter to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole urging the committee to formally codify President Trump’s bold cost-cutting reforms into law through the FY26 appropriations process.

The letter, co-signed by DOGE Committee members Reps. Tim Burchett (R-TN), Eric Burlison (R-MO), Brandon Gill (R-TX), Brian Jack (R-GA), and William Timmons (R-SC) calls on Congress to follow the Trump Administration’s lead in reducing wasteful federal spending and locking in historic savings identified through the work of DOGE & the DOGE Subcommittee.

“President Trump is leading the greatest government efficiency overhaul in history, and it’s working. The DOGE Subcommittee has exposed massive waste, fraud, and abuse, and now Congress must act. We’re calling on appropriators to defund the left’s propaganda machines, slash aid to our enemies, and make these savings permanent,” said Chairwoman Greene.

“The American people didn’t vote to fund abortion overseas, woke NGOs, or government-run media. They voted to end the waste and put America First.”

The letter highlights nearly $9 billion in rescissions already proposed by the Administration and calls for deeper cuts across a range of programs, including foreign aid and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It also emphasizes the need to reduce bloated federal agency staffing levels, noting the success of the Administration in downsizing the bureaucracy through RIFs, early retirements, and contract terminations.

The President’s budget would reduce non-defense discretionary spending by 23%, saving over $2 trillion over the next decade.

“The DOGE Subcommittee has done its part to identify the waste, fraud, and abuse. Now it’s time for the Appropriations Committee to do theirs and write these cuts into law,” Greene added.
