"The Department of Government Efficiency, a cornerstone of the second Trump administration's efforts to remake the federal government, no longer exists as a "centralized entity," according to the head of the government's personnel agency. But the longstanding White House technology team that President Donald Trump used to house DOGE continues to work on technology modernization projects throughout federal agencies."
"The administration's head of the Office of Personnel Management, Scott Kupor, told Reuters that DOGE "doesn't exist" anymore, and posted on X that DOGE doesn't have "centralized leadership" within the U.S. DOGE Service, though he did clarify that its principles "remain alive and well." Fox News also reported that the centralized office for DOGE is closed."
"Trump used an existing, Obama-era technology unit in the White House to establish the controversial cost-cutting unit on day one of his administration in January, installing DOGE within what was then the U.S. Digital Service and renaming it the U.S. DOGE Service."
Department of Government Efficiency no longer exists as a centralized entity, according to Office of Personnel Management head Scott Kupor. Kupor posted on X that DOGE lacks centralized leadership within the U.S. DOGE Service but said DOGE principles remain alive and well. The Trump administration placed DOGE within the existing U.S. Digital Service as a temporary organization with a dissolution date of July 4, 2026. DOGE pursued high-profile cost-cutting actions including agency shutdowns, contract cancellations, employee removals, and access to sensitive systems. The USDS team that predated DOGE continued lower-profile modernization work while many USDS staff were dismissed or resigned; USDS still has about 50 employees.
