The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been officially working for less than two weeks. It’s funny how much has changed in those almost 14 days; President Trump and Vice President Vance seem determined to set a new definition of the idiom “Hit the ground running,” and so do Elon Musk and the DOGE.
On Thursday, the DOGE announced that they had canceled a huge pile of “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion” (DEI) contracts and in so doing, saved the American taxpayers over a billion dollars. That’s right – over a billion. In 11 days, from January 20th to the 31st.
