Ernst’s letter pitches about $1 trillion in spending cuts to Musk and Ramaswamy, even though they do not have and will not have the constitutional authority to cut any federal spending if the DOGE remains outside the government.

Ernst wrote in the letter that her efforts to reduce government spending during her tenure in the Senate have been “a very lonely fight” since both “Democrats and Republicans always come together in agreement over one issue: living high off the hog.”

Ernst established the DOGE Caucus earlier this month to push for specific spending cuts after Trump takes office on Jan. 20, 2025.

North Carolina’s Ted Budd, Texans John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, Oklahoma’s James Lankford, Utah’s Mike Lee, Kansan Roger Marshall, Ohio’s Bernie Moreno, Missouri’s Eric Schmitt, Florida’s Rick Scott and Alaska’s Dan Sullivan have all joined the group that’s made up of Republican senators.
