Department of Government Efficiency site still active as officials, watchdogs dispute

The Department of Government Efficiency still runs an active website at doge.gov, and the site’s public updates remain online even as officials and watchdogs dispute its claims.

The agency’s homepage posts frequent contract and savings updates and links to its social posts, confirming the site is live and publishing work summaries.

At the same time, a U.S. Government Accountability Office review found errors and gaps in the DOGE “Wall of Receipts,” saying many reported savings estimates could not be verified.

The GAO review noted that as of July 7, 2026 DOGE reported savings tied to thousands of contract actions but that some estimates were incorrect or lacked supporting documentation, according to the GAO report.

The Washington Post’s reporting also shows that independent auditors have struggled to identify all who worked on DOGE, finding the GAO identified 206 DOGE personnel in the Executive Office of the President based on filings and agency responses.

DOGE’s public tally and social updates remain visible even after the GAO and other outlets flagged problems with its accounting, and watchdogs and some lawmakers have pressed for more transparency and records.

Those developments come amid broader scrutiny of executive-era efficiency initiatives and oversight of staffing and spending across agencies; readers seeking more on federal oversight and reform can consult related reporting on the site.
