DOGE's Aggressive Push to Restructure Federal Agencies | JQJO

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is attempting to expand its influence beyond executive branch agencies, contacting nearly 40 entities. DOGE staffers, many young and inexperienced, have sought to embed within these organizations, sometimes resulting in staff dismissals and program cuts. Some organizations, including the Government Accountability Office, have resisted DOGE's efforts, citing their independence from executive orders. DOGE's actions, driven by President Trump's budget proposals, aim to reduce government spending, though the impact on the overall federal budget is minimal.
