The U.S. Department of Labor canceled a whopping $577 million in grants, including $10 million allocated for “gender equity in the Mexican workplace.”
On Wednesday, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pointed out that these cancellations led to savings of $237 million. DOGE’s website also reports an estimated $130 billion in total savings, including $32 billion from grant terminations.
“Great work today by @USDOL @SecretaryLCD @Sonderling47 cancelling $577M in ‘America Last’ grants for $237M in savings,” DOGE celebrated, listing several examples of wasteful grants that were nixed. One of the grants mentioned was $10 million going to “gender equity in the Mexican workplace.”
A couple more: $12.2 million for “worker empowerment in South America,” and $6.25 million for “improving respect for Worker’s rights in agricultural supply chains” in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

Breitbart reports:
The canceled grants were intended for other countries as well, including $3 million for “safe and inclusive work environments” in Lesotho, $3 million to “enhance social security access and worker protections for internal migrant workers” in Bangladesh, $4.3 million for “assisting foreign migrant workers” in Malaysia, and $5 million for “elevating women’s participation in the workplace” in West Africa, per DOGE.
This follows DOGE updating its savings leaderboard, which now touts $130 billion in estimated savings. DOGE’s website explains that this is a “combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions,” which breaks down to a savings of $807.45 per taxpayer.
DOGE currently displays 9,289 grant terminations, which alone total $32 billion in savings.
American money is no longer going towards interests of every country except our own! This is amazing!
