Codifying Trump’s Executive Order
Mills said Wednesday the legislation intends to formalize President Donald Trump’s executive order that establishes DOGE. By codifying DOGE, the president will be able to prioritize modernizing government-wide software to enhance efficiency, the congressmen assert.
The EO seeks to rename the United States Digital Service as the U.S. DOGE Service. It also establishes the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, which is tasked with promoting efficiency goals for the first 18 months. It is scheduled to be terminated by July 4 of next year.
The legislation requires federal agencies to form dedicated teams to work with DOGE in implementing initiatives aimed at maximizing government efficiency.
DOGE Act Co-Sponsors
The Republican-led DOGE Act garnered support from several co-sponsors. Aside from Bean and Donalds, cosigners include Barry Moore, R-Ala., Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Mary Miller, R-Ill.
“According to the agency themselves, DOGE has already achieved over $115 billion in savings, which amounts to more than $700 in savings per taxpayer. They are rooting out waste and fraud, including the cancellation of 104 DEI contracts, saving the government more than $1 billion,” said Mills.

Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.; Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.; Susan Collins, R-Maine; and Angus King, I-Maine have proposed legislation that would spare the Navy’s four public shipyards from workforce reductions. Called the Protecting Public Naval Shipyards Act, the bipartisan bill tells the Department of Defense to exempt certain positions at public shipyards from hiring freezes and layoffs to ensure that nuclear-powered submarine maintenance and overhaul are uninterrupted. “This bipartisan bill will ensure that important naval operations continue without disruption by exempting public shipyard employees from the chaotic mass firings, workforce reductions, and hiring freezes directed by the Trump Administration,” said Hassan.
