The Department of Government Efficience (DOGE) refuted claims of dissolution, asserting it has saved taxpayers $335 million by terminating 78 wasteful contracts over nine days. DOGE emphasized its mission to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse, with plans to continue updates on Fridays. Among the contracts eliminated: a $616,000 HHS social media monitoring platform subscription, a $191,000 broadcasting contract for “operations and maintenance in Ethiopia,” and a $4.3 million IRS contract for “Inflation Reduction Act transformation project management support.” The total value of these contracts reached $1.9 billion, with immediate savings of $335 million already secured. DOGE teams at federal agencies remain fully operational, continuing to root out mismanagement and unnecessary spending. The organizational structure has evolved from a central command to an embedded resistance against government waste. White House spokeswoman Liz Huston reinforced the Trump administration’s commitment to reducing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government.
