Marjorie Taylor Greene took her DOGE agenda on the road Tuesday, but the tour didn’t go far. The Delivering on Government Efficiency Oversight Subcommittee held a field hearing on federal real estate holdings from the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building, the home of the U.S. Agency for Global Media located just three blocks west of the Capitol.

The office building sits mostly empty. Last month, President Donald Trump moved to gut the agency and Voice for America, and while a federal judge recently blocked the firing of around 1,200 workers, many remain out on administrative leave.

The federal government has a massive property portfolio, owning and leasing office space across the nation to house millions of employees. Operations that large come with inefficiencies, and for decades Democratic and Republican administrations alike have worked on incremental changes. Now Trump is taking a different approach: In February, the administration moved to begin terminating the roughly 7,500 leases managed by the General Services Administration nationwide and sell upward of another 500 properties.

6. Actually, they are looking to "sell" some but steal is likely more accurate. I feel like I'm being raped my a mad man.

He’s a total fucking psycho filled with hate.

9. When the Soviet Union fell

one of the things that the oiligarchs did was to privatize state assets. During Trump's first administration he made noises about selling off national parks. For decades conservatives in Texas, where there is comparatively little federal or state land, have said that other than military bases and a few buildings the "government" should not own land. I do think that it might be difficult for them to force states to sell their state parks, but I wouldn't put it past them to try.

10. They are, but what are they going to do with them

The commercial/office market is in the shitter I thought. Ever since covid, and still people dont' wanna go back to the offices. I doubt they wanna make affordable housing out of them. And they can't all be trump international grift-holes. I guess they'll steal anything that isn't nailed down, and if you're stealing whatever you get for it is more than you had.
