‘I love DOGE but not the sh*t we are picking up’: Tillis rips OMB Chief over savings transparency

A fiery Senate hearing erupted as Sen. Thom Tillis confronted OMB Director Russell Vought over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), questioning the transparency behind its claimed savings and criticizing how the program was carried out. Tillis declared, “I love DOGE, but not the sh*t we are picking up,” demanding clear answers instead of vague explanations. The heated exchange focused on whether DOGE's claimed billions in savings were properly documented and why the administration does not plan to release a final report detailing the agency's work after its July 4 shutdown. Vought defended the initiative, saying its impact was reflected across government spending and appropriations.
