The world's richest man spent nearly 130 days working with the Trump administration to slash the federal government.

A federal judge has ruled that certain DOGE employees will be permitted to access Treasury payment and data systems after completing required security training.

Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson laid into DOGE and President Donald Trump's economic policies during his weekly press availability, drawing parallels between the Third Reich in Germany and the mogul’s second term.
