Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma has introduced a series of bills aimed at increasing government efficiency. As a founding member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Caucus, Lankford is focusing on reducing waste and improving regulatory processes.

"The American people gave Washington a mandate in November—waste less, save more. Today I'm introducing a first set of bills to follow through on their mandate by prioritizing streamlined regulations, rulemaking, and record keeping. It’s time to put government waste in the doghouse and let DOGE get to work," stated Lankford.

Included in this legislative package is the latest edition of Lankford's government waste book titled "Federal Fumbles: Ways the Federal Government Dropped the Ball," which identifies nearly half-a-trillion dollars in government inefficiencies. Additionally, Lankford played a key role in advocating for the Taxpayers Right-to-Know Act, leading to last year's introduction of the Federal Program Inventory (FPI), designed to provide transparency on federal spending.
