The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) posts weekly reports of cost savings on its “wall of receipts.” These savings have come from federal employee terminations, grant and contract cancellations, and stoppages of agency outlays. But several observers have been skeptical of the savings numbers DOGE claims, and others have called into question whether the department’s actions run afoul of congressional appropriations acts.
