More DOGE 'savings' unraveling

Yet more DOGE 'savings' are unraveling.
And it's the 'right leaning' Newsmax reporting it.
It would not be surprising to find that DOGE 'savings' are actually less than the associated costs.

Meanwhile the DOGE website (An official website of the United States government) falls further and further behind on their "This will initially be updated weekly; over time, the website will improve and the updates will converge to real-time." promise.
No "latest work" posts since August 13 and last 'savings' update Sep 8.

Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk's cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work.

GSA started by sending more than 800 lease cancellation notices to landlords, in many cases without informing the government tenants. The agency also published a list of hundreds of government buildings that were targeted for sale.

Pushback to GSA's dumping of its portfolio was swift, and both initiatives have been dialed back. More than 480 leases slated for termination by DOGE have since been spared. Those leases were for offices scattered around the country that are occupied by such agencies as the IRS, Social Security Administration, and Food and Drug Administration.

DOGE's "Wall of Receipts," which once boasted that the lease cancellations alone would save nearly $460 million, has since reduced that estimate to $140 million by the end of July, according to Becker, the former GSA real estate official.

131 leases expired without the government actually vacating the properties, the official said. The situation has exposed the agencies to steep fees because property owners have not been able to rent out those spaces to other tenants.
