Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy Lead DOGE

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to propose significant federal spending cuts, including targeting remote work for federal employees and burdensome regulations. While Republicans largely support DOGE, Democrats are divided, with some like Rep. Ro Khanna and Sen. Bernie Sanders open to collaboration, especially on military spending cuts. DOGE, although not an official government department, will work externally to advise the Trump administration. Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz has joined the DOGE caucus, signaling an interest in reforming the Department of Homeland Security. Meanwhile, Sen. Chris Murphy criticizes the initiative, highlighting the potential for biased decision-making by wealthy individuals benefiting from government subsidies. The initiative will require balancing interests across party lines as it seeks to streamline government operations.
