Late last month, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/doge-doesnt-exist-with-eight-months-left-its-charter-2025-11-23/">Reuters reported that DOGE</a> had “disbanded,” that the group was no longer a centralized government entity. But according to Wired Reporter <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/what-is-doge-doing-now/">Vittoria Elliott</a>, while DOGE is no longer moving across the government "in a move-fast-and-break-things blitz,” it is far from dead and gone. One source, at the USDA, told Wired that DOGE operatives had “burrowed into the agencies like ticks.” Elliott tells Brooke about how DOGE is continuing to shape the government, and what she's learned from talking to federal workers.
