    • DOGE Efficiency Program Wastes 21.7 Billion While Cutting Federal Jobs and Sparking Legal Battles

      DOGE Efficiency Program Wastes 21.7 Billion While Cutting Federal Jobs and Sparking Legal Battles
      Feb 24 2026
      Listeners, buckle up for the wild tale of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, the bureaucracy-busting brainchild of President Trump and Elon Musk that's left Washington barking mad. Launched on January 20, 2025, via executive order, DOGE aimed to slash waste, modernize tech, and cut a trillion from the federal budget, as Britannica details in its overview of the short-lived agency.

      But recent bombshells paint a chaotic picture. A Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report, led by Senator Richard Blumenthal and covered by AOL, blasts DOGE for wasting $21.7 billion—mostly paying hundreds of thousands of federal workers not to work. That's $14.8 billion on 200,000 in a deferred resignation program, with 154,000 still drawing paychecks through September or year-end, per Washington Post sources. Add $6.1 billion for involuntary separations and admin leave, plus spoiling food aid, incinerated contraceptives at $160,000 a pop, and scientists checking park visitors for $138,000. The report calls it disruption gone wrong, with hidden costs from lawsuits and stalled research mounting.

      DOGE counters with $199 billion in savings, or $1,236 per taxpayer, via its website. Yet Britannica notes the agency shuttered in November 2025 amid disputes, with Musk departing after fallout, though AInvest reports on February 23, 2026, that cuts continue—30,000 contracts axed for claimed $110 billion savings, sparking lawsuits over congressionally mandated grants. Smaller states like South Dakota bore the brunt per capita.

      Critics say DOGE forced waste by gutting the workforce, halting vital grants, and creating bureaucratic mayhem. One anonymous worker told HuffPost they're in limbo, paid but sidelined indefinitely. As legal storms rage and savings claims clash, has DOGE tamed the beast or just unleashed a mad dog on taxpayers?

    • DOGE Department Dissolves Early But Staffers Continue Efficiency Push Amid Crypto Token Volatility

      DOGE Department Dissolves Early But Staffers Continue Efficiency Push Amid Crypto Token Volatility
      Feb 21 2026
      Listeners, imagine a government watchdog so fierce it bites back at bloated bureaucracy—enter the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, Elon Musk's bold brainchild aimed at slashing federal waste. Launched with Trump-era fanfare, DOGE promised trillions in savings through ruthless audits and tech-driven overhauls, but by November 2025, it dissolved ahead of its July 2026 mandate, as TokenPost reports. Yet, MEXC News reveals DOGE isn't dead: staffers handpicked by Musk are still grinding behind the scenes, insisting they're "not at maximum efficiency" in purging red tape.

      This barking mad bureaucracy fight ties into meme coin mania. The Department of Government Efficiency token, DOGE on dogegov.com, trades at a mere $0.00213 per CoinMarketCap, down sharply from peaks, with CoinGecko showing a 6.8% daily drop to A$0.01472 as of February 19, 2026. Its market cap hovers at A$14 million, reflecting wild volatility—23% down over seven days amid crypto winters. Meanwhile, the original Dogecoin surges to $0.48, fueled by Musk's "Dogefather" tweets and whale hoards of 10 million coins, per KuCoin analysis, outpacing Bitcoin in hype-driven rallies.

      DOGE's legacy? A stark efficiency report exposing madcap spending—think proxy-estimated CPI data from budget-starved agencies, as Scotiabank economists note amid Trump's policy whirlwinds. Even disbanded, its shadow looms: whispers of AI boosts and tariff tweaks sustaining growth, proving bureaucracy's bark often outstrips its bite. Listeners, DOGE reminds us government can slim down, if only the madness yields to method.

    • DOGE: Elon Musks Controversial Government Efficiency Agency That Collapsed After Massive Restructuring Attempt in 2025

      DOGE: Elon Musks Controversial Government Efficiency Agency That Collapsed After Massive Restructuring Attempt in 2025
      Feb 17 2026
      The Department of Government Efficiency, known by its acronym DOGE, has become one of the most controversial federal initiatives in recent memory. Created on January 20, 2025, through an executive order from President Donald Trump, DOGE was designed to modernize federal technology and maximize governmental efficiency. According to Britannica, the department was established by reorganizing the United States Digital Service and renaming it the United States DOGE Service, with the goal to dismantle bureaucracy, slash regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies.

      Elon Musk emerged as the driving force behind DOGE, initially claiming the department could save two trillion dollars from the federal budget, though he later lowered that figure to one trillion. The agency wasted no time implementing sweeping changes. In late January 2025, DOGE employees began accessing government agencies with the stated goal of cutting costs. More than two million government employees received deferred resignation offers, and the United States Agency for International Development officially closed on July 1, 2025, after facing scrutiny from Trump and his supporters critical of foreign aid spending.

      However, DOGE's aggressive approach created significant legal and public relations challenges. According to Britannica, a federal judge questioned the constitutionality of DOGE, noting that Musk had not been nominated or confirmed by the Senate as required for federal agency heads. The department also faced criticism for lacking transparency, particularly regarding staff member identities and classified documents. By mid-April 2025, DOGE had eliminated more than 55,000 positions and reported expected savings of 150 billion dollars through what they called the Wall of Receipts. Yet observers noted the ledger contained errors, including canceled contracts that had actually been terminated under previous administrations.

      Public support eroded rapidly. While Americans generally favored eliminating wasteful spending, most opposed DOGE's methods. The department made cuts so hastily that it later reversed decisions, such as rehiring hundreds of nuclear weapons workers. Musk personally drew significant backlash, with Tesla stock declining over 40 percent during his tenure.

      By November 2025, DOGE ceased to exist. According to Britannica, the Office of Personnel Management assumed most of the agency's tasks. While DOGE claimed savings exceeding 200 million dollars, some sources estimated it actually cost Americans billions.
