Dominic Pino(@DominicJPino):Good corrective from @judgeglock on the view that DOGE was all bad or completely pointless. It didn't cut spending or regulations in any meaningful way. But it did cut federal workforce bloat, mostly through voluntary resignations, early retirements, and hiring freezes, not layoffs. And the worst predictions about declining service quality have not come to pass, and many incidents have been exaggerated.
