Credit Card Update!
The program to audit unused/unneeded credit cards has been expanded to 32 agencies. After 10 weeks, more than 500K cards have been de-activated.
As a reminder, at the start of the audit, there were ~4.6M active cards/accounts, so still more work to do. pic.twitter.com/apdJuMFaNR

500K credit cards deactivated—real progress, but the real scandal is how 4.6M cards ever existed for 2.2M employees. GSA, Treasury, and HHS led the charge in this $40B spending spree, with average transactions at $441. Bureaucrats treated taxpayer funds like Monopoly money.
DOGE’s audit exposes the rot: agencies like State Department still dragging their feet at 25% compliance. Cut the cards, cut the waste, cut the bloat.
Every deactivated card is a win against D.C.’s culture of excess.
