Six months into the bold crusade of the Department of Government Efficiency, listeners are asking: are the green DOGE lights in government streamlining worth the chaos that’s followed? In January, President Trump signed an executive order reforming the United States Digital Service into DOGE—the Department of Government Efficiency—with Elon Musk initially at the helm. Tasked with slashing bureaucracy, eliminating waste, and modernizing federal technology, DOGE quickly became the nerve center of Trump’s promise to “dismantle government bureaucracy” and cut up to $1 trillion in federal spending. The agency’s youthful, largely tech-driven workforce, dubbed “DOGE kids,” descended on Washington with few ties to federal norms and a mandate to overhaul, automate, and lay off.

But the reality has been seismic. According to Business Insider, by March, DOGE actions were responsible for eliminating over 216,000 federal positions. Since then, countless more have exited through retirements, buyouts, or sheer uncertainty. The fallout has been palpable: federal employees across core services like Social Security and NASA report anxiety, overwork, and a deep sense of loss. Many support the core mission—streamlining government and saving taxpayer money—but now question whether the effort has gone too far, threatening the public safety net and critical services.

Transparency emerged as a central concern. As documented by American Oversight, entire agencies vanished—like the U.S. Agency for International Development—with scant public details on who made the decisions or who’s calling the shots, as DOGE operates much of its business behind closed doors. Investigations and lawsuits are ongoing to reveal the full list of DOGE staff installed across government as public records requests go unanswered. Critics point out that the lack of watchdog access and the classification of DOGE documents as presidential records until 2034 raises alarms about accountability.

Still, Congress and the administration press on. This week, lawmakers advanced legislation to codify executive orders that empower DOGE, aiming for further efficiency gains and regulatory overhauls even as critics warn about the long-term implications for federal capability and workforce morale.
