Elon Musk’s prominent role in President Donald Trump’s White House appears to be fading, but the tech billionaire’s brainchild — the budget-slashing Department of Government Efficiency — is poised to continue its work after his departure.

Government fraud risk expert Linda Miller spoke to “60 Minutes" about how effectively the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) approaches fraud.

The proposed DOGE stimulus check, promising $5,000 per household, encounters significant challenges. With savings far below the $2 trillion target and lacking congressional approval, the initiative's future remains uncertain.

Emails from Donald Trump’s political action committee have teased $5,000 “DOGE stimulus checks” — part of a proposed plan to return savings from the Department of Government Efficiency to taxpayers. But are the checks real, and who would qualify?

The Trump coalition unites anti-corporate populists and libertarian futurists — two factions with irreconcilable views. The struggle over AI copyright underscores just how unstable that alliance has become.

In 2015, right-wing intellectual Charles Murray wrote a book laying the groundwork for DOGE’s reign of terror.

Engineers are primarily — if not solely — trained to view challenges through a limited, technical lens, writes college student Isaac Walker. We don’t ask whether the problem needs solving or worry about the downstream effects of our solution.

One thing stands out amid all the chaos, corruption and disorder: the wanton destructiveness of the Trump presidency. The targets of President Trump’s assaults include the law, higher education, medical research, ethical standards, America’s foreign alliances, free speech, the civil service, religion, the media and much more.

At this point, it seems that DOGE and the bureaucracy have reached a stalemate. And in a battle of attrition, smart money is on the bureaucracy. “Outwait, out play, and outlast” — to paraphrase the Survivor motto — is a major strength of the bureaucracy that has ended many attempts at transformation.
