President Donald Trump signed an executive order to formalize the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. The U.S. Digital Service (USDS) is renamed as the U.S. DOGE Service, with plans for agency-specific "DOGE Teams." The order aims to modernize IT infrastructure and access agency records, while legal challenges question its transparency. DOGE's goal is federal budget reductions, though Musk's initial target is seen as unrealistic by experts.
