Events

Date Event
2/06/25
A large contingent of DOGE staff from multiple agencies meet at GSA HQ. It is unclear if they are representing their specific agencies or if this is a DOGE all-hands gathering. It is also unclear how many DOGE staffers in GSA are in attendance.
2/20/25
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth releases a video stating that he met with DOGE about cuts to the agency. He states that many of them are veterans. (fuzz: The attendees aren’t listed, but I am inferring this is Yinon Weiss, Mike Slagh, Jim Hickey and Patrick George)
