Advance and support reforms to improve government efficiency, including through the DOGE Acts to support the Department of Government Efficiency.

President Trump is tackling this problem head on with the Department of Government Efficiency, which will be led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. And with my DOGE Acts, Congress can play a crucial role in ensuring their reforms last well beyond the Trump administration. My goal is to get our government so efficient that we turn “DOGE” into a verb.

Blackburn commits to supporting reforms for government efficiency via the DOGE Acts and Department of Government Efficiency.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn announced and sponsored a package of bills called the 'DOGE Acts' to promote government efficiency, including measures on performance-based pay, agency relocation, hiring freezes, and rescissions.

Official Senate press release from February 3, 2025 showing Blackburn publicly introduced and promoted the 'DOGE Acts' package as legislation to advance government-efficiency reforms and explicitly tied the package to the DOGE initiative. This is direct evidence that Blackburn advanced and supported these reforms by sponsoring and publicizing specific bills. The press release does not indicate enactment; it documents formal introduction and public advocacy.

S.359 (Federal Employee Performance and Accountability Act of 2025) was introduced by Sen. Marsha Blackburn on 02/03/2025 and was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Congress.gov entry for S.359 (one component of the DOGE Acts) confirms Blackburn formally filed legislative text and that the bill's recorded status is 'Introduced' and referred to committee on February 3, 2025. There are no recorded subsequent actions on the bill page indicating passage into law as of the current lookback (through May 26, 2026), which shows the legislative effort advanced to formal introduction but did not become enacted legislation in the period covered.

Congress.gov identifies Sen. Marsha Blackburn as sponsor of S.359, introduced February 3, 2025, and shows the bill's status as Introduced with latest action referral to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

This proves one DOGE Acts component was formally introduced by Blackburn, but Congress.gov records only introduction and committee referral, not passage or enactment as of the available record.

The Federal Register published Executive Order 14158, signed January 20, 2025, establishing DOGE to modernize federal technology and maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.

This official record confirms the Department of Government Efficiency initiative existed during Blackburn's current term, giving context to her DOGE Acts. It does not show Blackburn herself enacted the reforms.

The Senate bill text draft lists Mrs. Blackburn as introducing the SHOW UP Act of 2025 with cosponsors and describes requirements to restore pre-pandemic telework policies and require studies before expansion.

The PDF supports that Blackburn advanced another DOGE Acts component aimed at government efficiency, but the text shown is introduction-stage bill language and does not demonstrate enactment.

The bill text lists Mrs. Blackburn as introducing a measure to provide across-the-board rescissions of nonsecurity discretionary spending for fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028 and later.

This is additional official evidence that Blackburn advanced concrete DOGE Acts-related spending-cut legislation. It supports effort and partial fulfillment, not final delivery through enacted law.
