What is Trump’s DOGE, headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, and why it will 'send shockwaves' through Washington

President-elect Donald Trump appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This new department aims to reduce government bureaucracy, cut wasteful spending, and restructure federal agencies. The goal is to create a smaller, more efficient government by July 4, 2026, in time for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
