IOP Pritzker Fellow Shalanda Young on "I’ve Seen This DOGE Show Before" THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY Monday, February 10 3:30-4:45pm President Trump tapped Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head up the new Department of Government Efficiency – which is not precisely a department at all – designed to advise him on cuts to government spending and regulations. This is also in many ways a normal goal for new Republican majorities. They often fail. So, what if Congress disagrees with the DOGE? What is OMB’s relationship to the DOGE? Will Trump resort to impoundment – when the president chooses not to spend the money Congress tells him to – or via some other method to undo their will? Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Sarah Palmisciano (spalmisciano@uchicago.edu).
