DOGE

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),[note 1] officially the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, is a temporary organization under the United States DOGE Service, formerly known as the United States Digital Service (USDS).[1][2] Despite the name, DOGE is not a federal executive department, the creation of which would require the approval of the U.S. Congress.[3]... Elon Musk's official role is not clear. The organization was created by executive order on January 20, 2025 ((2025-02-05) Executive orders in the second presidency of Donald Trump), and is scheduled to end on July 4, 2026. DOGE has an office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building[5] and has about 20 employees there, with other teams embedded in federal agencies.[6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Government_Efficiency

• On January 20, 2025, the day of Trump's inauguration, The Washington Post learned of a pending lawsuit to be launched against DOGE minutes after Trump was to be sworn in. The lawsuit questioned whether DOGE is a presidential advisory commission obeying federal transparency rules about certain practices, such as disclosure and hiring.[36][137] That same day, several more lawsuits were filed against President Trump, DOGE, and the Office of Management and Budget, alleging violation of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which requires that "the advisory committee have a fair balance in viewpoints represented, that they do not meet in secret, and that their records and work product be made available for public inspection."[138]
