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&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-disappointed-by-one-big-beautiful-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that the current version of President Donald Trump’s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; narrowly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-one-big-beautiful-bill-in-massive-win-for-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> by the House last week, &#8220;undermines&#8221; 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 &#8220;team have done INCREDIBLE work exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government &#8211; from the insanity of USAID’s spending to finding over 12 million people on Social Security who were over 120 years old,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1927749395363045819" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> in a post on X. &#8220;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.&#8221;
Johnson said the House will take a two-pronged approach in which the lower chamber will &#8220;quickly&#8221; pass legislation to codify any cuts requested by the White House in an expected rescissions package and leverage the appropriations process to &#8220;swiftly implement&#8221; Trump&#8217;s proposed 2026 budget. &#8220;In the meantime, we have been working around the clock as we prepared for those processes,&#8221; he added.

Musk, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-significantly-cut-back-doge-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> last month that he was &#8220;significantly&#8221; reducing the time he spends on DOGE to refocus on his companies, made his comments about the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; during an <a href="https://x.com/CBSSunday/status/1927535075144421527" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> for &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning&#8221; as the Republican-controlled Senate considers the legislation. The “One Big, Beautiful Bill” aims to advance Trump’s priorities on border security, energy, and national defense. It also seeks to retain tax cuts from 2017 that are set to expire at the end of this year, raise the debt limit by trillions of dollars, and much more.
&#8220;I was like — disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it. And it undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,&#8221; Musk said in a clip published by CBS on Tuesday night. Also shown in the clip was &#8220;Sunday Morning&#8221; correspondent David Pogue telling Musk that when the bill came along, he thought &#8220;everything&#8221; accomplished by DOGE would get &#8220;wiped out&#8221; in the first year. It then cut to Musk, who said, &#8220;I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both. My personal opinion.&#8221;

DOGE&#8217;s <a href="https://doge.gov/savings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> says “estimated savings” have reached $175 billion through a combination of &#8220;asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions.&#8221; It also estimates that the amount saved per taxpayer is $1,086.96.
In his post on X, Johnson insisted that the House &#8220;made sure to build on DOGE’s success within the One Big Beautiful Bill.&#8221; He also made reference to a post from White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller regarding DOGE and the reconciliation process by which Republicans are moving the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; through Congress.
&#8220;DOGE cuts are to discretionary spending. (Eg the federal bureaucracy). Under senate budget rules, you cannot cut discretionary spending (only mandatory) in a reconciliation bill. So DOGE cuts would have to be done through what is known as a rescissions package or an appropriations bill,&#8221; Miller <a href="https://x.com/StephenM/status/1927572082780520465" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;The Big Beautiful Bill is NOT an annual budget bill and does not fund the departments of government. It does not finance our agencies or federal programs. Instead, it includes the single largest welfare reform in American history. Along with the largest tax cut and reform in American history. The most aggressive energy exploration in American history. And the strongest border bill in American history. All while reducing the deficit.&#8221;

Miller &#8220;has made an important point about the two efforts: DOGE found savings in discretionary spending (such as funding agencies), while our One Big Beautiful Bill secured over $1.6 trillion in savings in mandatory spending (such as Medicaid),&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1927749395363045819" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Both are HISTORIC and take HUGE steps toward addressing our debt and deficit.&#8221;

Greene continued: &#8220;Foreign aid and NPR/CPB on the chopping block. I have not seen the bill yet, but I’m just passing on what they told me. 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.&#8221;
