The most chaotic new committee in Congress

• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), whose mere presence on a committee is enough to cause upheaval, will be chairing Oversight's DOGE subcommittee.
• Several of the GOP members are from the right-wing Freedom Caucus, with other big names such as Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) and freshman rising stars like Reps. Brian Jack (R-Ga.) and Brandon Gill (R-Texas).

Driving the news: Democrats' members similarly include a healthy number of Congressional Progressive Caucus members, according to a list obtained by Axios.

• Led by Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), the list features big-name progressive Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) and Greg Casar (D-Texas), the chair of the CPC.
• It also includes Reps. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), a fiery defender of D.C.'s interests on Capitol Hill, and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), an Oversight Committee mainstay.
• Crockett in particular is known for her biting rejoinders in committee hearings and for sparring with firebrand Republicans like Taylor Greene.

Between the lines: This is the kind of committee you put together when you're trying to stage the Capitol Hill equivalent of bare-knuckle brawls.

• Few, if any, of the Republicans and Democrats on this committee are considered bipartisan dealmakers prepared to reach across the aisle on reasonable spending cuts and revenue raisers.

What they're saying: Stansbury told Axios' Erin Doherty on Tuesday that she is prepared to fight against Republican attempts to use DOGE to shrink the size of government.

• "All you need to do is see that they put [Rep.] Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in charge of the committee to know that this is likely going to be very much a political committee," she told Axios.
