Exclusive: DOGE 'doesn't exist' with eight months left on its charter
The Department of Government Efficiency claimed to have slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but it was impossible for outside financial experts to verify that because the unit did not provide detailed public accounting of its work.

Elon Musk’s DOGE has effectively ceased to exist, despite having eight months left in its mandate, Reuters reported Sunday.

What did DOGE accomplish besides creating chaos and confusion?

DOGE is officially disbanding 8 months ahead of schedule, right as MTG, chair of DOGE oversight, announced her resignation. DOGE cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars & is estimated to have caused the deaths of 300k children. Who’s going to answer for this?

DOGE failed. And DOGE is dead. So I guess government can be responsive after all.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.
