The Department of Government Efficiency, also called DOGE, is aimed at suggesting ways to dismantle government bureaucracy and restructure federal agencies in order to save costs and improve efficiency. DOGE is not an official government agency and it remains unclear of how the department will be structured and carry out its mission.
DeAngelis posted a report authored by Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., in which she slammed the education department for failing their latest audit.

"Just in case we needed more proof that Secretary Cardona has failed students, now we have the numbers. After two consecutive failed audits, it could only go up for Cardona, and yet he’s found a way to dig the hole even deeper, failing to live up to his promise to ‘revamp’ and address the audit failures," Foxx wrote. "Thankfully, the Trump administration will arrive soon and be able to clean up the messes created by the Biden-Harris administration. January 20th can’t come soon enough."
Trump signaled during the campaign that he supports abolishing the department.
Trump said he’ll prioritize "closing up the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and sending all education and education work it needs back to the states."
