Marsha Blackburn Introduces DOGE Acts in Congress

Senator Marsha Blackburn and Representative Claudia Tenney have introduced the 'DOGE Acts', a legislative initiative aimed at improving government efficiency and reducing wasteful spending. The proposed bills include a freeze on federal employees' salary increases, limits on federal employment, and a mandate for agencies to revert to pre-pandemic remote work levels. Additionally, the initiative seeks to relocate certain federal agencies out of Washington, D.C., based on financial efficiency and infrastructure considerations. The DOGE Acts align with the goals of President-elect Donald Trump's newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, which aims to streamline operations and cut costs. Critics, however, have raised concerns about potential cuts to key social programs and the risk of undermining support for vulnerable populations. Overall, the DOGE Acts reflect a broader Republican push for fiscal accountability and a reduction in government bureaucracy.
