Announcement follows Elon Musk's criticism of the "One Big, Beautiful Bill."
On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) outlined two actions the House will take based on findings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, led by Elon Musk.
The announcement followed Musk’s statement that the current version of President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” narrowly passed by the House last week, “undermines” the DOGE initiative’s cost-cutting efforts because it risks further increasing the federal deficit, which has already surpassed $1 trillion in recent years.
Musk and the DOGE “team have done INCREDIBLE work exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government – from the insanity of USAID’s spending to finding over 12 million people on Social Security who were over 120 years old,” Johnson declared in a post on X. “The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE’s findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand.”

Hey, usually they just quarter ass it.
Everybody keep the pressure on them. They take as much break time as the Bidens, and do as little as possible.
It would be nice if they did a roll call vote for each element. Then constituents can see where their representative stands.
Some advice for Speaker Johnson: “Show. Don’t tell.”
We want to see action, not lip service.
I gave up hope. Congress will not support PDJT.
I agree. To steal an older Nike slogan - “Just Do It!”

Never do that. It will be a secret vote so the RATs and RINOS can’t be found.
Uniparty gonna uniparty
