Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), the incoming chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has announced plans to examine government-funded programs, including NPR and PBS. Greene accused these outlets of promoting “Democrat propaganda” and suggested they could face defunding.

In a Fox News interview, Greene emphasized the need to address wasteful spending as America grapples with a $36 trillion national debt. “It’s all over — every department, every program,” she said. “We’ll be looking at everything, including media programs like NPR that spread Democrat propaganda.”

The DOGE subcommittee will also investigate questionable expenditures such as grants for “sex acts in Malaysia” and “toilets in Africa.” Greene criticized the Pentagon’s inability to account for billions of dollars annually, calling for greater oversight of defense spending.

The subcommittee will operate under President-elect Donald Trump’s appointees Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are tasked with cutting up to $1 trillion from the federal government’s annual $6.75 trillion budget.

Critics of Greene’s comments argue that defunding NPR and PBS could harm public access to educational programming. However, conservatives see the move as a necessary step to eliminate waste and ensure taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.

Greene’s waste-cutting efforts reflect Trump’s broader goals of reforming government spending and reducing inefficiency. As the DOGE subcommittee begins its work, programs like NPR and PBS are likely to come under significant scrutiny.
