In an unprecedented move aimed at overhauling wasteful spending and modernizing government operations, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced on Tuesday that it had canceled over 200,000 government credit cards.

This dramatic initiative, revealed in a post on X (formerly Twitter), is part of a larger strategy overseen by,
