Summary
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to enhance federal technology and productivity. This order renames the United States Digital Service as the United States DOGE Service, creating a temporary organization to advance the President's 18-month agenda, set to terminate on July 4, 2026. The initiative mandates each federal agency to form a DOGE Team to modernize software and IT systems, potentially streamlining government operations, though it may face scrutiny over data access and privacy concerns.
