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 can’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! It’s a Conservative DREAM!

      Sorry I fucked up the formatting, couldn’t figure out the bigger bullet points.

      I’m pretty sure there are more than this. I swear I saw a headline with a new one recently and didn’t save it. But it’s like they’re constantly popping up

        Sorry I fucked up the formatting, couldn’t figure out the bigger bullet points.

        I think it’s fine. All formatting on Lemmy is handled by markdown. In markdown, you can’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.

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

      They are going to make them worse???

      They missed a few. It’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.
