White House Establishes Department of Government Efficiency

On January 20, 2025, the President issued an executive order establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to modernize federal technology and software, boosting governmental efficiency and productivity. The order renames and reorganizes the United States Digital Service into the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS), creating a temporary organization to implement an 18-month DOGE agenda. Each agency will form a DOGE team to collaborate with USDS on software modernization and improving network infrastructure and IT systems.
