The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Tuesday said it is working on simplifying and reducing the administration costs for the government-issued credit card program, which it says last year accounted for 4.6 million active cards, and 90 million unique transactions totalling $40 billion.

DOGE also released a breakdown of the departments and federal agencies, their year-to-date spending, transaction amount, and current active accounts. The National Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Interior were among the federal agencies listed.
