The entire DOGE exercise, depending on which flavor of red cap wearer you talk to, was either fake (it was just for PR), about efficiency (trim waste), loyalty purges (drain the swamp), or mass layoffs (drown the government in the bath tub). Most of that sounds bad. Double sow because DOGE itself was not a real government agency. Which then create a massive loophole for it to be run by a guy who didn't go through the appointee congressional approval process if it were a real agency. And yet it was wielding power over real agencies with real appointees at the head...
