In today's show, Shana Burt and Jason McDowell examine the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team's efforts to reduce federal spending. They look at the team's composition, their focus on cutting expired contracts and programs, and their scrutiny of DEI initiatives across government agencies. The hosts explore recent findings about misappropriated funds and questionable spending practices. They also touch on President Trump's nomination of Frank Bisignano to lead the Social Security Administration, noting his private sector experience in identifying waste and fraud.
