  • Sen. Marsha Blackburn is also expected to meet with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy this afternoon on Capitol Hill.

Senator Marsha Blackburn is set to introduce the "DOGE Act" (Dismantling and Overhauling Government Excess Act), which aims to freeze federal hiring and relocate government agencies out of Washington, D.C. The legislation seeks to address what Blackburn describes as the "bloated bureaucracy" by implementing a hiring freeze on non-essential federal positions, except for critical roles like national security and public safety. Additionally, the act proposes moving federal agencies to different parts of the country to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and bring government closer to the people. This move is intended to save taxpayer money, reduce the influence of lobbyists, and make government operations more transparent and accountable. The bill also includes provisions for a study to identify agencies suitable for relocation and to assess the economic impact of such moves.
