# Plain Language Summary: Delete DOGE Act

This bill would eliminate federal funding for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a government office created through recent executive orders. Essentially, it would shut down this department by cutting off all the money that keeps it running. The bill targets not just the main DOGE office itself, but also any related organizations, teams, or successor entities that were set up to carry out DOGE's work. It also prevents federal money from being used to implement or enforce the executive orders that created DOGE in the first place.

The bill goes further by restricting how federal funds can be used by people affiliated with DOGE. It says that no federal money can be spent by anyone who works for, heads, or provides services to DOGE—whether they're employees, contractors, consultants, or volunteers. This means DOGE-affiliated individuals couldn't use federal equipment, devices, or funds to do their work. Additionally, no federal money could be used to follow orders or directives given by DOGE officials, even if those orders come under the guise of government authority.

There's one exception in the bill: the United States Digital Service (a separate government office focused on improving digital services) would be allowed to keep operating as it did before January 20, 2025. However, it couldn't take on any new projects or initiatives that DOGE started after that date. In practical terms, if this bill passed, it would effectively prevent DOGE from functioning by cutting off its funding and preventing federal agencies from following its directives or spending money on its initiatives.
