The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is an initiative of the second Donald Trump administration in the United States. It was established on January 20, 2025, by an executive order which renamed the U.S. Digital Service (USDS) to the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS) and created the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization (USDSTO) within USDS. DOGE's stated goal is "modernizing federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity". Its actions have included organizing mass layoffs of federal workers, accessing data from multiple federal agencies, and terminating funding related to: diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and climate change initiatives; foreign aid; consumer financial protection; and scientific research.
