- payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups
- The Social Security Administration has terminated its contract for the “Gender X initiative marker” and removed all references to gender ideology from public facing applications – saving $1 million
- February 4: – 12 consulting contract terminations (in GSA and the Dept. of Education) for a total savings of ~$30mm, including a $23mm work order for “digital modernization Program Management Office support” –“12 underutilized lease cancellations for an annual savings of $3mm”
- February 3 – 36 contracts were terminated for a total savings of ~$165mm across 6 agencies, including a DHS contract for “people and culture survey and climate support services.”
- February 2 – In the past 6 days, the number of lease terminations of underutilized buildings has increased from 3 to 22, with savings increased from $1.6M to $44.6M.
- Through 1/29/2025, 85 DEIA related contracts totaling ~$1B have been terminated within the Dept. of Ed, GSA, OPM, EPA, DOT, Treasury, DoD, USDA, Commerce, DHS, VA, HHS, State, NSF, NRC, NLRB, PBGC, USAID, RRB, SSA, SBA, BLM, CFPB, NPS, and NOAA.
