The purchase mandates a provincial government-wide evaluation of” all arrangements and provides for spend, fraud, and abuse”. Additionally, it instructs agency mind to “where achievable” disclose federal payments and travel expenses.
WHITE HOUSE DIRECTS FEDERAL AGENCIES TO Plan FOR’ LARGE-SCALE Cuts ‘ IN WORKFORCE
Senior White House officials cited the purchase as saying that “agency heads may work with the DOGE group leads employed by their companies to evaluate and cancel all superfluous contracts.”
However, the government’s order will require the General Services Administration to publish a plan to sell off or terminate contracts for “unnecessary” national properties or buildings.
Prior to this morning, Trump’s Office of Management and Budget and Office of Personnel Management directed authority to make for “large-scale cuts” in the national workforce.
The White House was given the dates of March 13 and April 14 for company mind to send two-phased” Agency Reorganization Plans,” with an execution date of September 30 as stated in the letter.
Elon Musk, DOGE’s leader in all but title, was present and introduced himself as the White House’s “tech support” at Trump’s Cabinet meeting Wednesday morning.
In an email the department sent to all federal employees last week, DOGE and Musk have publicly clashed with a number of Trump’s cabinet members, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Federal employees were required to respond with five bullet points summarizing their weekly accomplishments, along with public assertions from Musk that failing to do so would lead to employment termination.
As of Wednesday, two days after DOGE’s Monday deadline, roughly half of the federal workforce had responded. Musk made a slight reversal of comments made by the White House about firings earlier this week, but the president’s Cabinet meeting on Wednesday gave him full support for it.
WHITE HOUSE INSISTED, AFTER IT WAS NOT MUSKED, AND AMY GLEASON WAS IDENTIFIED AS ACTING DOGE LEADER.
” We’re cutting down the size of government. We have to. We’re bloated. We’re sloppy”, Trump said, claiming that federal employees who haven’t responded are “on the bubble”.
” Maybe they’re going to be gone. Maybe they’re not around. They might have other jobs. Maybe they moved, and they’re not where they’re supposed to be. A lot of things could have happened”, the president continued.
