The Treasury Department has confirmed in a letter to Congress that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staff will be given “read-only” access to the Fiscal Service Bureau’s nearly $6 trillion federal payments system.
Named after a meme-inspired cryptocurrency coin and theorized during a pre-election interview on billionaire Elon Musk’s social platform X, President-elect Donald Trump is launching the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in his second administration.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was a U.S. federal department that was formerly called the United States Digital Service. On January 20, 2025, U.S. Pres. Donald Trump issued an executive order that reorganized the organization and changed its name to the United States DOGE Service; …
Like most people here who work on public land, he told me he doesn’t do it for the money; there’s not much money in it, anyway, belying the DOGE claims of significant cost saving to taxpayers as a whole. The four major public lands agencies — USFS, BLM, National Park Service, and FWS — had a combined total of $15.7 billion in government-appropriated funds in 2024.

Trump and his team have nevertheless signaled its demise in public since this summer, even though the U.S. president signed an executive order earlier in his term decreeing that DOGE would last through July 2026.

While several media reports have suggested that DOGE has all but fizzled out, DOGE affiliates are scattered across the federal government working as developers, designers, and even leading agencies in powerful roles.
Talking to Reuters, Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor confirmed that DOGE—a government agency notoriously created by Elon Musk to rapidly and dramatically slash government agencies—was terminated more than eight months early.
We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting.
It feels like a lifetime ago that Elon Musk palled around with President Donald Trump and slept on the floor of an office just steps away from the White House. The world’s richest man was classified as a “special government employee” while leading the cost-cutting crusade known as DOGE.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to reporting in the Washington Post, recently set its sights on creating “a single centralized [government] database” that would enable broad access across government agencies to vast amounts of information currently collected and …
