This week's Weekly Debrief covers DOGE savings at SBA, proposed legislation on SBA relocation, nuclear microreactors on Army bases, DOD and risk management framework, and AI prompts and DOGE.
Small Business
"The Small Business Administration’s top official told lawmakers this week that DOGE has found billions of dollars in savings via canceled contracts and identified hundreds of millions in fraudulent loans thanks to “data analytics” — but declined to share specifics behind those big-money claims."
"The House on Thursday passed legislation that would require the Small Business Administration to relocate its regional, district and local offices in 'sanctuary jurisdictions.' 'President Trump is taking action to restore the rule of law with executive orders that stop the federal subsidization of areas that refuse to comply with immigration laws. This legislation, in part, codifies those efforts and the work already done at the SBA,' said House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams, R-Texas, during floor debate on Thursday."
Defense
"Some Army installations could be powered by nuclear microreactors under an executive order recently issued by President Donald Trump. The order, published May 23, calls for deploying advanced nuclear reactor technologies for national security and directs Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll to establish a program using the technology for both installation and operational energy."
"The Defense Department is closing in on some promised reforms to its Risk Management Framework. By the end of July, officials expect to release a draft outline of a simpler, reworked process for industry feedback. Among the objectives: Eliminate redundancies in the system and make it more realistic to conduct ongoing, real-time security assessments instead of just point-in-time ones."
AI
"When an AI script written by a Department of Government Efficiency employee came across a contract for internet service, it flagged it as cancelable. Not because it was waste, fraud or abuse — the Department of Veterans Affairs needs internet connectivity after all — but because the model was given unclear and conflicting instructions."
