The receipts: On its official website, the Department of Government Efficiency has itemized the contracts and savings it has cut from the federal budget, committing to real-time updates twice a week. Of the $55 billion DOGE has claimed, it has only itemized approximately $17 billion — although the website notes that termination notices issued by DOGE make up 20% of its savings and will have a one-month lag before they are reported through the Federal Procurement Data System. Additionally, $8 billion of the savings has come from a contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement that was erroneously listed in 2022 and was actually worth $8 million. DOGE has corrected the contract, but as of publication has not adjusted the total savings it claims.
