The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced in a post on X over the weekend that its formal mission had ended after the temporary agency reached the sunset date established by President Donald Trump‘s executive order. The announcement came after the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization reached its scheduled termination date of July 4.
DOGE, created in January 2025 to identify and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse across the federal government, said its broader mission would continue despite the organization’s formal closure.
