Was completely confused hearing the term "doge", so for non americans such as I:

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), officially the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, is a temporary organization under the United States DOGE Service, formerly known as the United States Digital Service. Despite the name, DOGE is not a budgeted part of United States government, which requires approval of the United States Congress.

This is what happens when you give a man child power, wtf
