President Donald Trump’s Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has just slashed millions of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded federal contracts.
The Trump administration confirmed that the government contracts were a waste of taxpayer dollars.
On Wednesday, the team DOGE confirmed that it has worked with various agencies to cancel several contracts.
The contacts were found in the Social Security Administration, the Departments of Homeland Security and Labor, and several other areas.
“Taxpayer dollars will no longer be wasted on nonsense,” an administration official reportedly told Fox News.
The canceled spending includes a $36,000 contract for DEI-related workshops at Homeland Security.
DOGE also shut down a $1 million contract that supports the “Gender X Initiative.”
The initiative involves public-facing SSA applications that allow for the “non-binary” field.
At the Department of Agriculture, a $1 million contract for a “diversity” communications campaign for farmers has been canceled.
Contracts are also being canceled at the Forest Service, a branch of USDA.
Forest Service contacts included one for $375,000 on DEI and onboarding services and another for $30,000 on a “Central America Gender Assessment Consultant.”
The Department of Agriculture will also cancel a $230,000 contract for Brazil forest and gender consultant services.
The Department of Labor will cancel a $4 million contract for DEI consultation services and training in its Jobs Corps program.
Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency is canceling a $100,000 contract to purchase a two-year subscription with Gartner HR Leaders.
The subscription supposedly seeks to “obtain research and advisory services covering employee experience, diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and work-life integration.”
The Trump admin has cut hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts across various departments in the government so far.
Many of the contracts are related to far-left DEI efforts that Trump railed against on the campaign trail.
Trump argues that these programs make the United States weaker by focusing on gender and race rather than meritocracy.
On January 28, DOGE posted that the group is “saving the Federal Government approx. $1 billion/day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of DEI, and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations, all consistent with the President’s Executive Orders.”
Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress have rallied against DOGE.
They are arguing that cracking down on waste, corruption, and abuse of taxpayer funds represents a “constitutional crisis.”
Democrats are making the case that the cuts are too drastic and are slashing vital government programs.
