US Digital Service was renamed
So an existing agency was renamed by the executive
Congress not needed
Yeah, very poor source
- Ardren 2y agoI mean it's right? He cannot create it, and the way he went about it might not be legal either. It was very odd. The EO renamed USDS, to DOGE, but USDS still exists, and then created an organization under USDS called DOGE. But that the DOGE organization doesn't report to USDS, but to a new USDS administrator just for DOGE.

- yieldcrv 2y agoIt just renamed the D to be another acronym that starts with D, so not even a real rename. Mentions where the administrator will work, which is within the purview of the Executive - any agency can be administered directly except independent ones. And says they are still doing IT work, which is within Congress’ mandate. What’s written on paper there is all compliant. Everyone should read it for themselves before turning that specific verbaige into an amateurish partisan thing. Anything you don’t like here has to be taken up with Congress because they delegated all that authority eons ago.
