What's wrong with Ernst? She's a big time Trump supporter isn't she?
As for DOGE, I understand that one of the first things that they/she intend to do is to eliminate remote work privileges for many federal employees. While I am generally all in favor of people working from the office, I know from experience that professional services firms have saved tons of money over the last few years in downsizing their real estate spend and allowing people to work remotely several days a week (or entirely) from home.
I also understand that the federal government (like the private sector) has taken on less office space over the last few years because so many people work from home.
So, my point is, that if the idea is to make federal government workers more productive, getting them back in the office makes sense. but, if the idea is to cut the budget of agencies (reduce spending), then I don't believe requiring in person work is the way to do it. It would have the opposite effect.
