DOGE

DOGE stands for “Department of Government Efficiency.” Like the Holy Roman Empire, it is neither a Department, nor about Government, nor Efficient. It sets a cancerous precedent for the separation of powers. Naturally, the Democrats have failed to oppose it in any meaningful way.

This table lists all the reports that contain this term: DOGE.
