The arrival of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has triggered a crisis within the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), which was established to modernize government services. Following the recent election, many USDS employees have resigned, and the new DOGE has begun layoffs of key personnel. This has resulted in confusion, as there are now two distinct DOGE groups within the government, with one formerly operating under the USDS. The changes include a rebranding of USDS to U.S. DOGE Service and a shift in its organizational structure, affecting accountability and access to information.
"Unfortunately, with the changes made by DOGE, the entire structure and purpose of the USDS has been undermined, which is a blow to technological progress in government."
"I didn't expect it to be dismantled, and it’s disheartening to see such a vital initiative being jeopardized by new administrative decisions."
