The House and Senate DOGE caucuses are continuing their efforts to root out government waste and fraud even after Elon Musk’s departure from the Department of Government Efficiency. House DOGE Caucus chairman Aaron Bean emphasized that the caucus will continue its mission to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, with a major focus on reforming the Treasury’s payment system to prevent improper disbursements. Meanwhile, Senate DOGE Caucus chairwoman Joni Ernst is addressing nearly $80 billion in potential fraud from pandemic aid programs, calling for improved oversight measures to prevent future losses.
