The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), launched by former President Donald Trump in January 2025, has firmly denied a Reuters report claiming the agency had been disbanded, asserting that it remains operational and will resume regular updates. DOGE highlighted recent cost-saving measures, including the termination of 78 wasteful contracts, which saved taxpayers $335 million, and announced plans to return with its regularly scheduled Friday update. However, Reuters reported that the agency no longer exists as a centralized entity, with its functions absorbed into the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The agency, which Trump billed as a bold effort to cut federal waste and bureaucracy, faced mounting speculation about its future after Musk resigned in May 2025 amid a public feud with Trump. The report noted that DOGE’s activities, such as unannounced office visits and mass layoffs, had raised questions about its effectiveness and sustainability. Despite DOGE’s claims of ongoing operations, the agency’s future remains uncertain as its key employees have been integrated into other parts of the US government. DOGE has accused Reuters of spreading ‘fake news,’ insisting that Trump’s mandate to streamline government operations and cut waste remains in effect. The agency remains a symbol of Trump’s efforts to reform federal spending and bureaucracy, though its continued existence is under scrutiny.
