DOGE also shared a breakdown of credit card usage across federal agencies, revealing that the Department of Defense had the highest number of transactions, with about 27.2 million purchases made across 2.4 million accounts.

The department has also become the target of multiple lawsuits from opponents trying to halt various cost-cutting measures.
