Overview

• DOGE has downgraded its original $2 trillion savings goal to $150 billion for fiscal year 2026, reflecting a 93% reduction in its initial target.
• Recent reports highlight inflated savings estimates, including errors, one-time cuts, and unverifiable projections, undermining the credibility of DOGE's claims.
• Approximately $962 million in reported savings was quietly deleted from DOGE's public website, with hundreds of entries altered or removed overnight.
• A whistleblower alleges DOGE engineers exfiltrated sensitive data from the National Labor Relations Board, though the NLRB denies any breach occurred.
• Critics, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, describe DOGE's approach as chaotic and ineffective, raising concerns over its long-term impact as it approaches its July 2026 sunset.
