What's your opinion/take on the efforts of DOGE?

Ah… Sasha Grey.

Porn’s most vocal hypocrite and beacon of moral integrity (meaning: No Cream Pies but all else is a green light like MULTIPLE BBC gangbangs).

Always... I mean ALWAYS listen to a woman's opinions who has had three black guys inside her at once, for a Paycheck... MULTIPLE TIMES! That's AMAZING logic. LOL...

At this point, I'll believe it when I see it. Pam's appearing to be the kind of person that can't keep her mouth shut during a High Level audit... "We are GOING to do this (but have zero documentation for the process followed and executed) soon!"

I'm not believing a damn thing from this group until there's a solid conclusion, from here on. Even the Immigration focus has been poor.

There's always a +/- tolerance applied to their own bullshit from what I'm currently seeing. It's like watching Siblings fight over their parent's house before they fucking die.. "I promise you... I WILL GET IT... because I am me!"

The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency Service is hiring up after much of the staff in what was formerly called the U.S. Digital Service was laid off or left the team in the first six months of Trump 2.0.

President Donald Trump set up the government-slashing DOGE team on his first day in office within what was formerly USDS, a government tech SWAT team established in 2014 in the wake of the Healthcare.gov crash. Though DOGE itself has a pre-set end date of July 4, 2026, USDS remains a permanent government fixture, albeit one with a different name.

Existing staff from USDS were re-interviewed in the days that followed Trump’s inauguration. Dozens were dismissed in February, told that “USDS no longer has a need for your services.” Later that month, twenty-one employees resigned, writing that they didn’t want to "legitimize DOGE’s actions.”

Now, the cost-cutting unit is looking to hire into the permanent side of USDS. DOGE is looking to fill 40 positions, according to two people familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity to protect their privacy.

Internal emails, obtained by Nextgov/FCW and dated in late June and early July, ask staff for design, product and engineering referrals and reference two new hires.

Federal News Network reported in early June that federal employees had been getting unsolicited invites to interview with DOGE, and Wired reported that DOGE was on a “recruiting spree” and reaching out to former feds.

The hiring push has been ongoing for months, one of the sources familiar told Nextgov/FCW. It comes as DOGE is seeking $45 million in the White House’s budget request, including funding for 150 DOGE employees.

When Trump transformed USDS into DOGE, he also established a new, temporary organization — which volunteers can work for, in addition to paid employees — within USDS. Those two parts of DOGE still don’t really intermingle or work together, one person familiar told Nextgov/FCW.

It’s unclear if the temporary organization is also hiring.

Trump initially charged the U.S. DOGE Service with a software modernization initiative, but the work of the organization has been wide-reaching, including shutting down entire government offices and helping agencies plan for large-scale reductions in force.

Some of those doing the high-profile work of DOGE — cutting contracts, helping lay off government employees, accessing sensitive government data and systems, and more — have since gotten permanent government jobs at agencies, including as chief information officers.

n early June, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, told lawmakers that the vision for DOGE was for it to become more "institutionalized" within agencies as “in-house consultants,” and that the leadership of DOGE was “decentralized” and with agency heads.

The executive order establishing DOGE directed agencies to set up DOGE teams and also allowed for those teams to include “special government employees,” a type of time-limited position that can be paid or unpaid.

Musk himself was a special government employee, though he stepped away from DOGE in late May. Since then, he and the president have sparred over provisions in the recently passed reconciliation law, and other high-profile and original DOGE associates in addition to the billionaire have also left the effort.

“Many Presidents have promised, but none other than President Trump has delivered to actually make government more efficient and root out waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington, and that mission is moving full steam ahead,” Harrison Fields, White House principal deputy press secretary, told Nextgov/FCW in a statement. “Every agency and department is executing this mission seamlessly and, as a result, has yielded more than $170 billion in savings for the American people.”

DOGE’s “Wall of Receipts” detailing its work and alleged savings, however, has been riddled with mistakes. The White House didn’t answer questions about DOGE hiring and priorities.

It’s unclear how many work for DOGE overall at this point across the temporary organization and USDS, but one source estimated that USDS itself has about 25 people.

Before Trump took office, USDS boasted a team of over 200 people and worked on projects like improving the website of the Social Security Administration or modernizing the public health surveillance system used to track diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In the last six months, agencies that had ongoing work with USDS before the second Trump administration started have struggled to get the staff for these projects, one current government employee, not authorized to speak on the record, told Nextgov/FCW.

"We the Builders was created in February the day after 40 US Digital Service employees were fired without notice, partially in response to this action. Now we hear that they are seeking to replace [those fired],” said Kate Green, the publisher of We the Builders, a nonprofit communications and advocacy organization that’s been publishing blogs written by anonymous government employees and other information about the federal government.

"Treating service delivery to the American people as a cost-cutting exercise is how the government got to needing people like us to fix broken services in the first place,” she said
