A group of conservative lawmakers in the House and Senate are cautioning Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune against agreeing to restrict the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in a spending bill as the government shutdown deadline of March 14 approaches.
Sen. Rick Scott and House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, along with 19 other Republicans, expressed concerns about Democrats' demands for a funding agreement that could perpetuate wasteful spending. They emphasized the importance of upholding the President's authority to save taxpayer dollars.
