This annual government report proves that DOGE is useless
Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: The Government Accountability Office’s annual report on reducing overlap, fragmentation, and duplication has been released!
In normal times, this would not be something most people would even notice, much less get hyped about. But in Trump’s America, a run-of-the-mill report from an independent, nonpartisan agency feels momentous, like some tiny part of the government remains untouched by the rampages of Elon Musk’s ostensible Department of Government Efficiency.

It’s also an actual report, running 145 pages with figures, tables, methodologies, and how cost savings are determined, and it boasts 148 matters and recommendations across 43 topic areas.
Now contrast this report with the dumb DOGE dashboard, an ever-updating webpage with very few details on how savings were calculated or even what, exactly, was axed. It’s nothing like the staid, yet useful, GAO report, which details each efficiency and savings suggestion at length.
