The newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has made significant cuts in federal spending, terminating 85 DEIA-related contracts worth approximately $1 billion across 24 federal agencies, including the Department of Education, Treasury, and Defense. This follows President Trump’s Executive Order on Government Efficiency, which aims to reduce bureaucratic waste and prioritize performance. The cuts, led by DOGE Administrator Elon Musk, are the first steps in a broader initiative to streamline government operations. The Department of Veterans Affairs also placed 60 employees focused on DEI on administrative leave, signaling a shift toward more efficient government management.
