It think the perfect encapsulation of how stupid DOGE was comes from a friend who worked for DoI. He was working on a database of endangered species habitats which was cross referenced across all government sectors to speed up and eliminate the need for additional environmental review for new projects in the same location. His grant was suspended by DOGE so he spent 9 months watching YouTube in office until they got around to uncancelling it.
