DODGE Cuts

I’m thankful that I will finally get to vote on several DOGE cuts that my DOGE Subcommittee led the fight to defund.

We held hearings on USAID and NPR and CPB and recommended defunding these programs completely.

… there are rules that DOGE cuts go under because these are recission bills.

Apparently the Senate calendar is very full because they are still working on Pres Trump’s nominations and other legislative work like Pres Trump’s OBBB.

Congress functions under arbitrary rules that make accomplishing anything virtually impossible. I spent two decades running a company where we could do anything to serve our customers, but here where “it takes an act of Congress” serving our customers, the American people, we are working with our hands tied behind our back most of the time because of all the rules.

The rules really make Congress ineffective and broken.
