As of October 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has identified programs and contracts across numerous federal departments and agencies for elimination. The cuts target programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), environmental protection, public health, foreign aid, and certain grants within the Department of Justice.
A full list of eliminated programs is not available due to a lack of transparency and ongoing legal challenges regarding DOGE's activities. Public information, including news reports and releases from agencies, identifies several areas impacted by cuts.
Programs and contracts
identified for elimination
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS)
- COVID-era grants: Termination of over $11
billion in public health funding, originally appropriated during the
pandemic, that states were using for public health priorities.
- Migrant programs: The administration
claimed to have identified $22 billion within HHS for eliminating
resettlement programs and other assistance for migrants.
- Office of Justice Programs (OJP): 373 grants valued at $820 million were terminated. These grants supported a variety of state and local public safety efforts, including violence reduction, policing, victims' services, and juvenile justice.
Department of Defense (DOD)
- Contracts and grants worth over $580
million were terminated.
- Eliminated funding for a new human
resources program.
- Terminated a grant for developing equitable machine learning models.
Department of Education (ED)
- Termination of nearly $1 billion in
federal contracts.
- The elimination of all diversity, equity,
and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government, with the
Department of Education being a major target.
- Contracts "involving DEI" were singled out for elimination.
Social Security Administration
(SSA)
- Workforce reductions of 7,000 employees
were announced.
- Office closures, including those in White Plains, NY, and Columbus, OH, were initiated, though some announcements regarding service limitations were later walked back.
Other departments and agencies
- U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID): Numerous contracts were terminated, many related to
international development projects and initiatives.
- General Services Administration
(GSA): The Lab at OPM, an innovation and design team, was eliminated.
- Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA): Large funding cuts to "green energy projects" and
initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions were announced.
- Office of Personnel Management (OPM): Elimination of the Federal Executive Boards.
Legal challenges and
controversy
Many of DOGE's elimination
efforts have been met with legal challenges and controversy. Critics argue that
DOGE's actions were ideologically driven and executed without proper
congressional authority.
- Court orders: Federal judges in
Maryland and California ordered the reinstatement of probationary workers
who were terminated in a mass firing orchestrated by DOGE.
- Lack of transparency: DOGE and the
Trump administration have faced legal challenges and criticism for their
lack of transparency regarding specific cuts and data access.
- Questionable savings: While DOGE has claimed billions in cost savings, other government entities and independent analyses have disputed these figures, finding errors and overstatements in DOGE's claims.
Comments
DOGE identified fraud, waste and abuse and less than half of what they discovered has been eliminated. Their recommendations were based on AI Database Connections required to gain accuracy and productivity increases and involved consolidating processing centers for agencies like Social Security and IRS Operations. AI Data Centers will need to be built and Database Connections made. New Federal Employees will need to be trained to use these Advanced Systems that will enable the US Government to accurately identify US Citizens to be counted to determine Congressional Districts and end Voter Fraud.
