I think this has been mentioned previously, that DOGE found something "horrible". But, curious if anyone knows of any update on it?

Trump signs executive order ending 'excessive regulations' on water pressure.
"I like to take a nice shower, take care of my beautiful hair," Trump said as he signed an executive order at the White House. "I have to stand in the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. Comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous."
With the new executive order, Trump will be resetting the definition of "showerhead" from a 1992 energy law, which sets a simple 2.5-gallons-per-minute standard for showers.
"The Order frees Americans from excessive regulations that turned a basic household item into a bureaucratic nightmare," the White House said. "No longer will showerheads be weak and worthless."
Good! I had to attack my showerhead to remove the limiter. I guess the shower police can now stay out of my bathroom.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I'm guessing that this doesn't supersede any state laws? So the 1.7gph limit still exists in this friggin, god forsaken state? Can't buy most showerheads because of the stupid state law. If there is ever a freedom week for showerheads, I'm stocking up.

Now, I'm curious. Are there effective bars to ordering and receiving such things as evil shower heads behind enemy lines? Do states run stings on vendors to see if they will ship to places where they are prohibited?
I understand how that works with full capacity firearms magazines, but plumbing supplies?

You can find a U-tube video on anything... It's not hard to remove the limiter and un-restrict the flow.

Just about right. Bondi, get off the Goddamned TV; Noem, cut out the ridiculous glamour LARPing; Kash, get to fucking work.
That is an anti-DOGE, lefty sight that I would not trust. I would go to the DOGE site to see what is going on. I would also look at Twitter and read the "DataRepublican (small r)" posts. They both provide honest updates about what has been found, canceled, or clawed-back. I cannot find any misleading or untruthful statements in what they are posting for the few items I have dug into deeper:
