LOL - What if I told you that is not DOGE's mission and it never was?
The whole point of DOGE was to make federal employees AFRAID. That's it, and in that, and only that, they have been supremely effective:

This has been the stated purpose from the beginning. If you believe otherwise, then you missed them telling you this:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/10/who-is-russell-vought-trump-office-of-management-and-budget
“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said in a video revealed by ProPublica and the research group Documented in October. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”
As always, the cruelty is the point. It's NEVER been about efficiency.
You didn't link anything that disproves DOGE's mission. The reason for the wasteful spending is because of corrupt government officials. In order to cut spending, you have to deal with the cronies who are behind that wasteful spending.
Like every failed Republic before, we're on train tracks. We know how this all ends. Whether you like it or not, DOGE was the last chance to save the system.
You'll notice while they supposedly found all kinds of corruption, no one has been arrested or prosecuted... no one. All the supposed graft that was US AID, but no arrests. It wasn't full of corruption as we were told. The White House certainly is though.
The mission was to isolate and break America's ties with allies and to get anti-Trumpers out of the Federal government, and DOGE was pretty successful with it's part in that.
They found corruption but the government is so completely corrupt that it's protecting the criminals. It's not that DOGE is irrelevant, it's like David standing against an army of one million Goliaths with just three stones.
Comparing a liar, rapist and morally bankrupt person - all of which you have evidence of, as did the juries - to David shows just how corrupt your mind is as well. "I never knew you"
