3/24/25 Update Updating with some news about Louisiana DOGE: https://pimento-mori.ghost.io/louisiana-doge-secret-meetings-may-have-involved-plans-to-cut-medicaid-2/ I also found this Newsweek article from 2/26/25 that lists several states I was unaware of. It missed several I have listed here. Combined with my list and the Axios article from

    I have little to contribute at this point, but this is the talk we need.

    We simply cannot wait for the wheels to turn at the political level on this. I see this as a do or die moment for people power to truncate this madness.

      The Majority in those states are probably ECSTATIC about this! They canā€™t WAIT to have no Weather Service, No Education Service, No First Responders, No Road Maintenance and Repair, No Mail Service, all while their taxes go UP! Itā€™s a Conservative DREAM!

      Man these states already have shitty services. No wonder their citizens hate government.

      They are going to make them worse???

      Sorry I fucked up the formatting, couldnā€™t figure out the bigger bullet points.

      Iā€™m pretty sure there are more than this. I swear I saw a headline with a new one recently and didnā€™t save it. But itā€™s like theyā€™re constantly popping up

        Sorry I fucked up the formatting, couldnā€™t figure out the bigger bullet points.

        I think itā€™s fine. All formatting on Lemmy is handled by markdown. In markdown, you canā€™t change the size if the bullets, but you can indent listed items (ordered/numbered or unordered/bulleted) by just indenting the bullet with 2 spaces (although 4 spaces is safest when formating markdown. I think the only item you cab change your size of is headlines.

        Btw, thanks for the updated list.

      They missed a few. Itā€™s at least 16 state level and 1 county level last time I counted. Some of them go by different names other than DOGE.

    Now that doge will handle elections and voter registrations. I wonder if all states will be required to have one. Or if that will only be handled by the federal doge.
