Senator Joni Ernst Introduces DRAIN THE SWAMP Act to End Federal Remote Work

Christina Botteri, The Star News Network

Senator Joni Ernst introduced a new measure that would force the end of remote work in

the federal government and demand accountability for agencies allegedly abusing telework provisions at taxpayer expense. The Senate DOGE Caucus Chair introduced the DRAIN THE SWAMP Act exactly a week after proposing the Returning SBA to Main Street Act – both of which aim to reduce inefficiency in Washington’s bureaucracies and improve government services for Americans. The move follows a months-long probe into the whereabouts of the federal workforce.
