A sweeping executive order from the freshly inaugurated 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, has officially established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aiming to modernize federal technology and maximize productivity. A White House release on Tuesday disclosed that the U.S. Digital Service will now operate under a new banner—the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS)—tasked with advancing the president’s so-called “DOGE Agenda.”
According to the White House statement, DOGE will spearhead strategies to modernize federal IT systems and improve the efficiency of government services nationwide. The reorganization merges multiple technology-focused initiatives into a central office within the Executive Office of the President, reinforcing the administration’s promise to streamline public sector operations.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk, co-chair of the new department’s advisory board, offered his optimism in a brief response: “There will be meaningful progress every week.” Observers note that the new structure could signal an aggressive push toward digital transformation in government, though details of how the DOGE Agenda will unfold remain unclear.
