This is the third volume of Lankford\u2019s report entitled \u201cFederal Fumbles: 100 ways the government dropped the ball.\u201d The first report identified $105 billion in wasteful federal spending and about $800 billion in negative regulatory impact to the economy, and the second report listed $247 billion in wasteful spending and regulations. This year\u2019s report will identify new examples of waste, inefficiency, and duplication in government, along with solutions to resolve each fumble.\r\n\u201cEvery American should have access to how their tax dollars are spent,\u201d said Lankford. \u201cI hope every member of Congress, the Administration, and staff will utilize Federal Fumbles as they consider budget requests, hold hearings, and discuss reform legislation. In the first 11 months of the new Administration, we\u2019ve worked to roll back wasteful spending and a number of harmful and burdensome regulations from previous Federal Fumbles reports. There is a lot of work to still be done. Our $20 trillion national debt will continue to grow until we stop it with spending cuts, government reforms, and a growing economy.\u00a0Federal Fumbles volume three is my to-do list for 2018.\u201d\r\nWHAT: Senator Lankford Press Conference to Release Federal Fumbles: 100 ways the government dropped the ball\u00a0\r\nWHEN: Monday, November 27, 11:00am ET (10:00am CT)\u00a0\r\nWHERE: Senate Radio-Television Gallery Studio, S-325, United States Capitol, Washington, DC\r\nVIDEO: The press conference\u00a0will be livestreamed\u00a0on Lankford\u2019s YouTube page HERE and Facebook page HERE\u00a0\r\nReporters who would like to cover the report release should contact DJ Jordan or Aly Beley via phone (202-224-5754) or DJ@Lankford.senate.gov or Aly_Beley@Lankford.senate.gov. \u00a0\r\n###\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.lankford.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-lankford-to-release-federal-government-waste-report"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0602830443531275, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
