Trump’s Government Efficiency Department Disbands Eight Months Before Mandate Ends

On Nov 23, the Department of Government Efficiency disbanded with eight months left on its mandate, ending an initiative symbolizing U.S. President Donald Trump's pledge to shrink government.
Officials say DOGE's decline began this summer despite President Donald Trump's executive order extending it through July 2026, and Elon Musk left the administration earlier this year.
Several former DOGE staff, including Zachary Terrell and Rachel Riley, moved into government roles; Musk promoted DOGE with `This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy`.
The Office of Personnel Management has absorbed many DOGE functions, with Scott Kupor, OPM Director, saying `There is no target around reductions` anymore, while Liz Huston, White House spokeswoman, said President Donald Trump continues reducing waste.
Republican states including Idaho and Florida are creating local DOGE-like entities as the White House budget office assigns Scott Langmack to develop AI tools for regulatory cuts.
