Senate DOGE Caucus pledges to continue mission after department disbands
Following the official closure of the Department of Government Efficiency on July 4, the chair of the Senate DOGE Caucus announced that the mission to find government waste continues. The department, which was launched by Trump and led by Musk, officially ceased operations after its 18-month mandate to cut federal spending expired. The initiative concluded its work without reaching its goal of cutting trillions in federal spending. While the formal office has disbanded, the Washington Post reported that the effort to identify federal cost saving measures will now shift toward legislative oversight.

The advisory group finished its work over the Independence Day holiday but fell short of its goal to cut trillions of dollars from federal spending. Supporters noted the group successfully ended a temporary government program as planned. The Senate DOGE Caucus now plans to keep the effort alive by continuing to look for ways to reduce government waste.
