The Washington Post’s June 27, 2025, article, “DOGE loses control over government grants website, freeing up billions” slams DOGE as chaotic after Elon Musk’s exit, quoting former Biden official Jacob Leibenluft saying DOGE’s actions were “less efficient, more political, and more open to corruption,” and Cristin Dorgelo, who served as Senior Advisor for Management at the Biden White House Office of Management and Budget, calling them “incredibly damaging.” It also cites an anonymous senior official stating, “DOGE’s overreach created a bottleneck that nearly paralyzed the system.” This one-sided hit piece is typical of the Washington Post.
