Senator Blackburn to introduce DOGE Acts supporting government cost-cutting initiatives
Senator Marsha Blackburn announced plans to introduce the "DOGE Acts," supporting cost-cutting initiatives discussed with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The legislation aims to relocate federal agencies, freeze hiring and salaries, and promote a merit-based salary system. The DOGE Acts will align with the objectives of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency. Blackburn's spokesperson indicated that several bills will be unveiled next week to enhance accountability in federal spending. The DOGE initiative has received bipartisan interest, with Rep. Jared Moskowitz joining the congressional caucus. Musk expressed support for including Democratic members in future discussions about the DOGE framework.
