$160 Billion Saved, Thousands of Contracts Killed, DEI Grants Lost: DOGE Roundup


Listen Later

One of the first things that President Donald Trump did upon assuming office was to take an agency first established by President Barack Obama and change it into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

He then placed Elon Musk in charge of that department, with the stated goal to root out government waste and fraud. And what’s been happening for the past three months is that DOGE has found a lot of what it calls wasteful spending. It’s not just “finding it,” however. Different departments of the government are taking steps to cut spending and cancel contracts, based on DOGE’s recommendations.

According to the official tally, DOGE’s efforts have saved U.S. taxpayers roughly $160 billion—which is equivalent to just under $1,000 saved for every U.S. taxpayer.

However, for a variety of reasons, most media have stopped devoting major coverage to DOGE’s efforts. There was a lot of coverage at the beginning, when many people were getting laid off, but recently, immigration-related news has taken a lot of the oxygen out of the news cycle, and therefore, most people don’t know what DOGE has been up to recently.

Today, we give you a comprehensive update on what DOGE has been doing for the past month.
