Overview

• DOGE has revised its savings target down to $150 billion for FY 2026, a dramatic reduction from its initial $2 trillion goal.
• Nearly $1 billion in previously claimed savings was quietly deleted from DOGE’s website, raising concerns about transparency and data accuracy.
• Investigations reveal DOGE’s reported savings are inflated by unverifiable line items, including canceled contracts that never existed or grants already paid in full.
• A whistleblower from the NLRB alleges DOGE engineers exfiltrated sensitive agency data, though the NLRB officially denies any breach occurred.
• Critics argue DOGE’s cuts disproportionately target humanitarian and oversight programs while leaving major spending areas, like defense, untouched.
