What has DOGE cut so far?

Feb. 05, 2025

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is working to cut federal spending, shrink the government's workforce and increase the efficiency of federal agencies. DOGE was created by President Donald Trump through an executive order he signed on Inauguration Day. Under the order, DOGE will be a temporary organization within the White House that will spend 18 months until July 4, 2026, carrying out its mission. The group has faced criticism over its access to federal systems, including the Treasury Department's payment system, as well as moves to cancel federal contracts and make cuts at various agencies. A treasury official told lawmakers in a letter to Congress that DOGE has "read-only" access to the payment system, although the agency later acknowledged a DOGE team member briefly had the ability to edit code as the result of an accident.
