DOGE shuts down with months left on its mandate
The New York Post ^ | 11/24/2025 | Samuel Chamberlin

Posted on 11/24/2025 6:54:49 AM PST by thegagline

The Trump administration’s much-hyped Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has dissolved with months left on its mandate, federal officials say.

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor confirmed to Reuters earlier this month that DOGE “doesn’t exist” as a “centralized entity.” ***

“Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026 – A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time. “I am confident they will succeed!” ***

“This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy,” Musk declared to a cheering crowd. *** The OPM, the federal government’s human resources office, has since taken over many of DOGE’s functions, Kupor told the wire service. ***

Trump on his first day in office barred federal agencies from bringing on new employees, with exceptions for positions his team deemed necessary to enforce immigration laws and protect public safety. [Trump] later said DOGE representatives must approve any other exceptions, adding that agencies should hire “no more than one employee for every four” that depart.

“There is no target around reductions” anymore, Kupor said.

*** DOGE claimed to have slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but it was impossible for outside financial experts to verify that because the unit did not provide detailed public accounting of its work.

The last update was on October 4. (According to the official website, updates were to be issued weekly.) So much hype, so much promise, all for (nearly) naught. As a point of reference, our national debt has increased by $1.79 trillion dollars since January 20, 2025.

I thought DOGE shut down once the Far-Left communist DemonRATS started murdering American citizens.

No! Don’t give federal judges one hour of sleep! Make them issue stays and injunctions until their pens run out of ink. Show them for what they are, the Praetorian Guard, loyal to the Beltway bureaucrats and leftist ideology. They are truly the enemy. The politicians are just the car lot salesmen. It’s the unelected bureaucrats running this sinking ship.

Yeah it was pretty much a bust, it was designed to skirt around the system of Washington DC. It did kind of damage some of these Gov agencies enough to make them ineffective which was a good thing. Once the Dems get back in they will rebuild bigger than before as our Do-Nothing Congress should have passed a law disallowing that.

Don’t believe evtything you read.

🚨 BREAKING: DOGE is NOT done, as the fake news wants MAGA to believe.

The leadership has been decentralized across multiple offices, and DOGE is still terminating BILLIONS in contracts.

Just yesterday, they announced up to $1.9B in contract cancellations.

DOGE--Brian Coyne (2025)
(Choreography by Shiva Bagheri, MAGA activist and community organizer)

Look around, government is overspending
Nobody knows where it goes
(Where does it go?)
You will cry because the bills are never-ending,
They’ll tax you to the bone.
(Leave us alone!)
When government fails at efficiency,
Deficits get bigger every day
I know some kids who want to save the day,
It’s called a task force, and here’s what it’s for:

So come on, DOGE, make our money go where we choose it.
(Go where we choose it.)
Come on, DOGE, make our money go where we know we can use it.

What we need is our own investigation.
Corruption’s to the core.
(There’s so much more.)
They can’t hide from their own extermination.
It’s what we voted for.
(What we voted for.)
It makes no difference who you’re working for,
If you’re a temp or full-time,
If you waste tax money, you’ll be out the door.
You’ll be on the streets,
Control-alt-delete. You know it.

Come on, DOGE, (DOGE!) make our money go where we choose it.
(Go where we choose it)
Come on, DOGE, make our money go where we know we can use it.

Duty’s to your nation, not just to improve your station.
So if you are part of the swamp, DOGE is going to take a big old chomp.
That’s not all to stop the sprawl; they’re sending in the big guns.

Come on, DOGE, (DOGE!) make our money go where we choose it.
(Go where we choose it.)
Come on, DOGE, make our money go where we know we can use it.

DOGE! Duty to the nation!
DOGE! Move to the music!
DOGE! Duty to the nation!
DOGE! Go with the flow!

USAID, Department of Ed, did you hear what Elon said?
Members of the Pentagon, your reckless spending days are gone.
FAA, NIH, time to end your overreach.
Treasury, CFPB, Elizabeth Warren weeps for thee.
You’re out of style. Out of loot. Donald Trump don’t give a hoot.
Robert, Pam, Peter, too,
Little Marco, we love you.
Patriots with an attitude,
Voters who are in the mood.
Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it.
Time for DOGE, there’s nothing to it.

DOGE! DOGE!
Move to the music!
DOGE! DOGE!
Go with the flow.

Oh, you’ve got to let your body move to the music.
Oh, you’ve got to just let your body go with the flow.
Oh, you‘ve got to just…
DOGE!

Not one agency has been abolished. We were supposed to see the Department of Education eliminated.

Nobody from the administration has asked congress to pass a bill. Even if the bill wouldn’t pass. Nobody from the administration has asked congress to pass a bill. Nobody has even asked!

I’m thankful for the USAID exposure but I was hoping that Fort Knox and the Federal Reserve would have been audited too.

The cancelling of USAID was a big hit on Democrat fund transfers to their campaigns.

On November 23, 2025, citing Office of Personnel Management (OPM) director Scott Kupor and its own research, Reuters reported that DOGE had ceased to exist, with many of its functions having been taken over by the OPM. Kupor also said that the government-wide hiring freeze is over. Reuters found out that prominent former DOGE employees are working for the National Design Studio, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Naval Research, and the State Department.


”prominent former DOGE employees..” - are now government employees! 🤣🤣🤣

(Physician, heal thyself)

Oh, the irony... lol. Some of us saw right through 'DOGE' from the beginning. Remember when they said they could send everyone $5,000 with all the savings? lol
