U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Brentwood, wants to put DOGE on the books.

Blackburn is set to introduce DOGE Acts to align with President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed Department of Government Efficiency agenda.

“I just met with @elonmusk and @VivekGRamaswamy to discuss how @DOGE will get its arms around our bloated federal government,” Blackburn wrote on a social media post Thursday.

“My DOGE Acts will support this by relocating federal agencies out of D.C., freezing federal hiring & salaries, and getting workers back in the office,” she continued.
