The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is an initiative of the second Trump administration tasked with cutting federal spending which it characterizes as "waste, fraud, and abuse". It emerged from discussions between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and was established by executive order on January 20, 2025. DOGE's actions have included accessing government data systems; organizing mass layoffs of federal workers; and cutting climate change initiatives, scientific research, and DEI programs. The initiative has targeted federal agencies including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Department of Education, Social Security Administration (SSA), and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
