Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) introduced a package of “DOGE Act” bills this week aiming to slash federal spending and save taxpayer dollars.

In a press release on Wednesday, the Republican lawmakers touted the measures as a means to target federal bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., coinciding with President-elect Donald Trump’s formation of the Department of Government Efficiency to be led by businessmen Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
