Overview

  • During the June 24 subcommittee hearing on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Greene repeatedly banged her gavel after Stansbury interrupted her remarks.
  • The exchange halted the session temporarily when members disputed parliamentary procedure over speaking recognition.
  • Democrats warned that DOGE cuts have delayed processing of Social Security claims and hindered veterans’ services.
  • Republicans defended the agency’s claim of $180 billion in federal spending reductions and its push for transparency.
  • Rep. Brian Jack flagged a poll graphic behind Stansbury showing percentages totaling 110 percent, prompting Greene to denounce it as “fake.”
