The administration’s head of the Office of Personnel Management, Scott Kupor, told Reuters that DOGE “doesn’t exist” anymore, and posted on X that DOGE doesn’t have “centralized leadership” within the U.S. DOGE Service, though he did clarify that its principles “remain alive and well.” Fox News also reported that the centralized office for DOGE is closed.
The news about DOGE becoming more dispersed isn’t necessarily a surprise.
In early June, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell, told lawmakers that the vision for DOGE was for it to become more “institutionalized” within agencies as “in-house consultants,” and that the leadership of DOGE was “decentralized” and with agency heads.
OPM and the Office of Management and Budget are institutionalizing the cost-cutting unit’s “principles,” the head of OPM wrote on X, linking to a blog about a recent executive order that set out new requirements for agencies on headcount and hiring.
