Tell Congress: Shut Down DOGE

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency — DOGE — is nothing but a $21 billion boondoggle. 

In just six months, it burned through taxpayer money, gutted vital agencies, and handed unprecedented control of our government to a billionaire’s inner circle.

Common Dreams reports DOGE has already squandered over $21 billion, diverting funds from programs that keep our food safe, our air clean, and our communities healthy. Politico’s analysis shows its “savings” claims are pure smoke and mirrors — counting cuts that were already planned while delivering nothing for the public.

Meanwhile, MSNBC and The Daily Beast reveal that DOGE has driven mass layoffs of skilled federal workers, crippling the agencies Americans depend on with no transparency, no oversight, and no measurable benefit.

Tell Congress: “Shut Down DOGE now. Stop wasting taxpayer dollars on political games and make sure the agencies and programs Americans rely on are fully funded.” Add your name to our petition.

DOGE is an unaccountable power grab. Created by executive order, DOGE operates outside normal checks and balances, with zero public accountability. Every day it exists, it drains taxpayer dollars and undermines democratic governance.

Congress has the power — and the duty — to end this failed experiment. It can shut DOGE down, rescind its funding, and block any future president from creating similar shadow agencies. 

DOGE is set to expire in 2026 — but waiting that long would be a costly mistake. The waste and harm are happening now. Every day we delay is another day our democracy and our tax dollars are sacrificed to a billionaire’s failed vanity project.

Sign now to demand Congress pass legislation to delete DOGE before it does any more damage.

The petition to Congress reads: “Delete DOGE now. Stop wasting taxpayer dollars on political games and make sure the agencies and programs Americans rely on are fully funded.”
