Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has announced a legislative package, dubbed the "DOGE Acts," designed to bolster the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) cost-cutting goals. These initiatives align with the agency's framework spearheaded by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Blackburn shared her plans on X (formerly Twitter), outlining key components of the legislation. These include relocating federal agencies outside of Washington, D.C., implementing a one-year freeze on federal hiring and salaries, and mandating the return of federal employees to in-office work.

A spokesperson for Blackburn confirmed the senator's intention to introduce multiple bills reflecting the DOGE framework, echoing Musk and Ramaswamy's push for greater efficiency in government spending. This announcement follows meetings between Musk, Ramaswamy, and lawmakers to discuss potential cost-cutting measures.

Musk expressed his gratitude for Blackburn's support on X. These legislative efforts follow positive feedback from lawmakers who met with Musk and Ramaswamy, expressing strong approval of the DOGE framework. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), chair of the Senate's DOGE Caucus, also presented a comprehensive cost-cutting proposal during a meeting with Republican senators and Ramaswamy.

The DOGE initiative has garnered bipartisan interest, with Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) joining the House's DOGE caucus. Musk has also indicated a desire for bipartisan involvement in DOGE discussions.
