Overview
- OPM Director Scott Kupor said DOGE "doesn't exist" as a centralized entity, confirming the hiring freeze has ended and there are no workforce-reduction targets.
- Many responsibilities have shifted to OPM and OMB, even as the White House stops short of a formal closure announcement.
- DOGE’s site and X account still tout actions and about $214 billion in savings, figures outside reviews say are overstated or unverifiable.
- The campaign drove broad workforce reductions — more than 200,000 departures — and agencies such as the GSA have asked former staff to return.
- Key personnel have been redeployed across government, including to the National Design Studio, Health and Human Services, the State Department and the Office of Naval Research.
