The Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, has become a central force in reshaping federal operations since its creation by executive order in January 2025. Led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, DOGE’s mandate is to modernize government technology, cut spending, and dismantle what supporters call bureaucratic waste. The initiative has already made sweeping changes, including mass layoffs, contract terminations, and the dismantling of several federal agencies. According to The Washington Post, DOGE’s internal reports reveal a three-phase plan to purge diversity, equity, and inclusion programs from federal agencies, targeting employees and contractors deemed aligned with those initiatives. The program’s reach is extensive, with DOGE teams embedded in nearly every federal agency, wielding unprecedented access to government data and decision-making processes.Critics warn that DOGE’s actions risk a constitutional crisis, likening the initiative to a coup due to its sweeping powers and lack of transparency. The Supreme Court has exempted DOGE from certain disclosure requirements, further fueling controversy. Despite these concerns, a recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll cited by the White House press secretary shows 76 percent of Americans support DOGE’s efforts to expose government waste and fraud. DOGE’s reported savings, however, have been questioned, with some savings figures based on questionable accounting practices and not all contract cancellations resulting in actual cost reductions.DOGE’s influence extends beyond federal agencies, with attempts to place teams in independent organizations like the Vera Institute of Justice and the National Gallery of Art. The program is scheduled to end on July 4, 2026, but its impact on government operations and public trust is already profound.Thank you for tuning in. Please remember to subscribe.
