The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by President Trump and co-led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, has set a deadline for 2026 to significantly downsize the US federal government. The plan involves cutting $2 trillion from federal expenditures, reducing the number of agencies, and eliminating 1.5 million jobs. While the initiative faces strong criticism, it has garnered support from key allies and is pushing ahead with its ambitious goals.
