DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was β€œfire sale” this, β€œfire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire β€” while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.
