Senate DOGE Caucus Targets Federal Telework Practices in First Meeting

The Senate DOGE caucus, led by Sen. Joni Ernst, is focusing on limiting telework and reforming government office use in its first meeting. Ernst's report suggests relocating federal employees, consolidating office space, and increasing transparency in government operations. The caucus aligns with the broader DOGE mission, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, to reduce federal government size, though its authority is unclear. Congressional Republicans are generally supportive, but the proposals may face challenges in implementation.
