Over 20 DOGE Employees Resign Amid Restructuring

More than 20 civil service employees have resigned from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), citing their refusal to use their skills to dismantle critical public services. The employees, originally from the U.S. Digital Service, expressed concerns over the lack of qualifications among new hires and the prioritization of political loyalty over expertise. This mass resignation, which involves engineers, data scientists, and product managers, is a setback for Musk's and Trump's plans to reduce the federal workforce. Despite the resignations and ongoing legal challenges, the White House remains dismissive, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt asserting that President Trump will continue his efficiency drive. The resignations highlight tensions within the federal workforce as Musk's team pursues aggressive restructuring efforts. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has reached out to offer jobs to the displaced federal workers, emphasizing her support for their expertise.
