Veterans Affairs Cuts $380K Monthly Website Contract in Latest DOGE Reforms

The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, claims $140 billion in savings as layoffs and contract cancellations reshape federal agencies, sparking debate over transparency and impact.

The Department of Veterans Affairs replaced a $380,000 monthly contract for website modifications with in-house work by a single staffer, reportedly saving millions.
DOGE announced the cancellation of 47 federal contracts with a ceiling value of $87.5 million, citing $30.2 million in savings as part of broader cost-cutting measures.
Critics question DOGE's claim of $140 billion in savings, with independent estimates suggesting the actual figure ranges from $5 billion to $15 billion.
Massive layoffs continue across federal agencies, including plans to cut 80,000 jobs at the VA, raising concerns about service disruptions in critical sectors.
Experts argue that systemic fiscal issues, such as entitlement spending and the federal deficit, require Congressional action beyond DOGE's unilateral cost-cutting efforts.
