In a series of recent executive orders, President Trump has empowered the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to implement strict measures aimed at reducing federal spending and increasing accountability. Key initiatives include a 30-day freeze on the use of government-issued credit cards following substantial misuse, the establishment of payment-tracking systems, and directives for federal agencies to scrutinize contracts and grants. The new orders also grant additional oversight capabilities to DOGE, led by Elon Musk, focusing on transparency and the elimination of wasteful programs. Critics and supporters alike are closely watching how these measures will affect federal operations and financial management.
