The DOGE playbook is still being carried out by political appointees. I work at SSA and the Commissioner has repeatedly said he is a ‘DOGE guy’ and that we should embrace the DOGE ethos. And many former DOGE staffers have burrowed their way into the civil service.

While DOGE no longer formally operates within SSA, there are still DOGE-affiliated staff remaining at the agency, and many of DOGE’s priorities—downsizing, automation, and data centralization—appear to be continuing under Bisignano’s leadership. As discussed in the accompanying article on American Oversight v. Treasury and SSA, watchdog groups are actively litigating DOGE’s role in accessing SSA systems and influencing agency policy. The Supreme Court’s June 2025 decision in SSA v. AFSCME, temporarily permitted DOGE to access SSA data.
