    President Donald Trump has signed an executive order elevating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, to an official government agency. Previously described as an advisory body operating outside the government, DOGE is now integrated within the federal structure to enhance its authority and streamline collaboration with other agencies. The executive order aims to modernize federal technology and software to improve efficiency and productivity. DOGE will operate as a temporary 18-month organization within the repurposed United States Digital Service, now called the United States DOGE Service, under the supervision of the White House Chief of Staff. The agency will deploy 'DOGE teams' across federal agencies, consisting of special government employees, to implement its agenda, focusing on budget cuts and regulatory reforms. These teams will have full access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems as part of a broader Software Modernization Initiative. Concerns have been raised by government watchdog groups regarding the scope and transparency of DOGE's operations, with some questioning whether it is an attempt to bypass regulations under the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
