WASHINGTON (TNND) — A Republican senator on Thursday released what he referred to as a “playbook” for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as the presidential advisory committee looks to cut federal spending.

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., annually publishes a report detailing “fumbles” by federal government agencies. This year’s edition, titled “Federal Fumbles: A Playbook for DOGE,” examines spending in recent years by 30 different agencies.

As a founding member of the Senate DOGE Caucus, my goal is to create a roadmap for DOGE, identifying key areas within the federal government and solutions to fix them,” the senator wrote in the report.

One item highlighted by Sen. Lankford was a 2023 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report finding 17 federal agencies were using 25% or less of their building capacity. This low use occurred as U.S. taxpayers payed $8 billion annually to “maintain and lease” the spaces, as well as an additional $7.7 billion for related energy costs, according to the senator.

The senator also pointed to the Department of Labor’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) program. He noted the department’s Office of the Inspector General determined at least $191 billion in pandemic unemployment benefits could have been “improperly paid, with a significant portion attributable to fraud.”

Additionally, Sen. Lankford raised concerns over federal disaster relief efforts. He said such assistance is “scattered across more than 30 different federal agencies,” making it difficult for Americans to obtain aid.

The senator in the report called for the creation of a commission focused on recommending administrative and legislative reforms for all federal disaster relief programs. He pointed to his own proposed legislation, the Natural Disaster Resilience and Recovery Accountability Act, as a way to accomplish that.

“Every time I talk with Oklahomans, they make it clear they want Washington to waste less and save more,” Sen. Lankford said in a statement. “This is the mandate that the American people voted to implement and we are committed to accomplish.”

Sen. Lankford’s report comes as DOGE, led by Elon Musk, ramps up its scrutiny of federal agencies. The Wall Street Journal reported members of DOGE may visit the Department of Defense as soon as Friday, while Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said Thursday his office was informed DOGE was at the headquarters of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

“That means Musk’s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America,” Sen. Wyden argued via X. “And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.”

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced Thursday his agency is launching a DOGE task force in compliance with President Donald Trump’s “Establishing and Implementing the President’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency” executive order. The secretary said in a video shared to X $260 million in “savings” has already been identified for the department.
