Twenty-one members of the United States DOGE Service (formerly the U.S. Digital Service) have resigned, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.
"We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services. We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE's actions," the anonymous staffers write in a letter obtained by NPR, and first reported by The Associated Press.
The staffers who resigned appear to have started with USDS before the Trump administration.
DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week
Last week, Elon Musk’s government cost-slashing initiative, which he calls the Department of Government Efficiency, posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts.
Now the organization, which is also known as the U.S. DOGE Service, has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” on that original list, after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors.
The last of the original top five disappeared from the site in the early hours of Tuesday, even as the group claimed in its latest update that its savings to date had increased to $65 billion. The website offered no explanation for why it had removed some items or how it had arrived at the higher total. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, sent a written statement that did not address the deletions, but provided a broader defense of the cost-cutting initiative, saying it “has already identified billions of dollars in savings.”

President Donald Trump’s sweeping efforts to purge the federal workforce have dealt a striking one-two punch to an already largely vulnerable population: America’s veterans.
Besides scrambling for a new way to make a living, former service members who lost their government jobs are bracing for the potential impact the mass terminations may have on their personal lives after the Department of Veterans Affairs dismissed more than 1,000 people who help provide services to them.
“I’m worried about wait times,” said a disabled Army veteran, who was let go from her VA job last week. “If there’s not enough staff, from the clerks on up to the providers, it delays your time to be able to be seen, whether it’s an emergency or nonemergency.”
The layoffs could have cascading effects on veteran unemployment and put millions of veterans at risk of having their benefits disrupted, said Allison Jaslow, an Iraq War veteran who leads the nonprofit Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
FAA targeting Verizon contract in favor of Musk's Starlink, the Washington Post reports
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract awarded to Verizon, opens new tab to overhaul a communications system, and awarding the work to Elon Musk's Starlink, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

He's trying to own literally every industry. Soon we'll be buying Musk eggs, Musk jeans, browsing the Muskernet and earning Musk-accredited degrees at Muskiversities.Oh look what $200 million in campaign donations and firing the head of the FAA gets you...
If it's any consolation, Kimmel and Colbert did some semi-funny bits about this last night. My favorite part was "We might make mistakes, like accidentally unleashing Ebola, but we'll immediately correct them."WHY THE FUCK isn't everyone talking about this?
The cabinet was trapped in a room with a Ketamine addled psychopath while Vice President Trump dozed off and then only came alive to spout a stream of lies in a 'press conference'.
It is so clear that Trump is not compos mentis these days and that Musk and his brat pack are the ones running the US government Executive Branch.
