Mike Turner (OH), Nicole Malliotakis (NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), and Mark Amodei (NV).<\/p>\n<p>The Senate is now on the clock to pass the measure as the proposal requires approval within 45 days or it will be rejected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even if enacted, the $9.4 billion in cuts represents a small fraction of the $180 billion in savings identified by the Department of Government Efficiency, underscoring the broader fiscal challenges facing lawmakers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/radical-new-doge-transparency-powers-could-hit-congress-after-elon-musk-exit\">introduced<\/a> legislation to expand Congress&#8217;s oversight of federal spending, building on DOGE efforts. The legislation provides lawmakers real-time access to Treasury Department invoices exceeding $25,000.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>DOGE lifted up the hood of federal government spending and put on full display the massive programs and inefficiencies wasting American taxpayer dollars<\/strong>,&#8221; Roy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/radical-new-doge-transparency-powers-could-hit-congress-after-elon-musk-exit\">said<\/a> in a statement to Fox News. &#8220;Billions were splurged on waste, fraud and abuse \u2013 but also on programs that clearly do not align with the core values of the American people. Regardless of which party controls the White House, the mission of DOGE in identifying wasteful spending must continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Texas Republican <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/radical-new-doge-transparency-powers-could-hit-congress-after-elon-musk-exit\">said<\/a> that the bill offers &#8220;the best tools available to identify this ridiculous spending in real time and allow us to reform government spending well into the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" class=\"username\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Tue, 06\/17\/2025 &#8211; 14:40<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/its-disgusting-erik-prince-torches-rinos-screwing-america-out-doge-cuts-warns-primaries\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/its-disgusting-erik-prince-torches-rinos-screwing-america-out-doge-cuts-warns-primaries<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s Disgusting&#8221;: Erik Prince Torches RINOs For Screwing America Out Of DOGE Cuts, Warns Of Primaries Blackwater founder Erik Prince unleashed on Congressional Republicans, blasting&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1542265,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1542264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1542264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1542264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1542264\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1542265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1542264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1542264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1542264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
