Senator Joni Ernst is spearheading a proposal for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aimed at reducing government employee telework and selling empty government office space. As the chair of the Senate DOGE Caucus, Ernst has collaborated with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who have been appointed by President-elect Trump to lead the new agency.
Musk and Ramaswamy are scheduled to meet with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill to discuss strategies for cutting government waste. Ernst will unveil her proposal and a 60-page report during the first Senate DOGE Caucus meeting, which Musk and Ramaswamy are expected to attend.
