DOGE Cancels Hundreds More Wasteful Contracts
Doing it right: Elon Musk and his team set up a process and a group well able to carry on without them. Bless them all for stepping up.
[PJ] The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to work hard to save Americans money. If only Congress would follow its example.

DOGE remains committed to identifying the heinous number of wasteful contracts and the stunning amounts of fraud across our federal government and its hundreds of unconstitutional agencies. If there’s one thing that has become abundantly clear in the last few months, it is that our federal government is completely out of control, and is using our taxpayer dollars to run the country into financial catastrophe.

Though the Iran-Israel conflict understandably pushed DOGE out of the news, the work goes full steam ahead. DOGE posted on X June 26:

Over the last 7 days, agencies have terminated 312 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $2.8B and savings of $470M, including a DoD $286k professional and management development contract for an "entrepreneurship course at Harvard University", and a $485k USAID contract for a "senior general development advisor at USAID Madagascar."

Fortunately, that’s not all DOGE is doing. It provided an update Friday on the National Weather Service (NWS) modernizing its Weather Radio system, since around 380 of their stations still relied on copper lines from the 1960s. Since the last DOGE update, 33 NWS stations had upgraded to wireless, which DOGE claimed saves $118,000 monthly in copper contracts.
