Joni Ernst's 'blueprint' report advises DOGE to audit IRS and 'pull the plug' on Biden programs

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), the new leader of the Senate DOGE Caucus, is giving Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy advice on where the Department of Government Efficiency should start cutting federal government waste, including several Biden administration programs.

In a letter sent to Musk and Ramaswamy and obtained by the Washington Examiner, Ernst made a list of 22 areas worth a combined $1 trillion that she deems worthy of slashing to give the DOGE a head start in its task of making massive cuts to federal spending and the government workforce.
