DOGE Has Been Quite Busy Since Inauguration Day

 The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) appears to be pretty busy since President Donald Trump took office on January 20.

The initiative, headed by entrepreneur Elon Musk, is dedicated to slashing government spending by eliminating unnecessary agencies and doing away with regulations.

President Trump established DOGE through an executive order issued on his first day in office to “implement the President’s DOGE Agenda, by modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.”

The agency has been documenting its progress in posts on X. The group recently claimed it is saving the federal government about $1 billion per day by “stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of DEI and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations.”

DOGE is saving the Federal Government approx. $1 billion/day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of DEI and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations, all consistent with the President’s Executive Orders.

A good start, though this number needs to increase to > $3 billion/day.

The agency also reported that the General Services Administration (GSA) has ‘terminated three leases of mostly empty office space, with tenants relocating to nearby buildings in the GSA portfolio.”
