"The staffers who resigned had worked for what was once known as the United States Digital Service, but said their duties were being integrated into DOGE"

-TFA

Title is pretty misleading

The USDS was rebranded DOGE at which point all the USDS employees became DOGE employees. "DOGE staffers" is correct.

Now if it were to say "New DOGE staffers that Elon brought with him", that would be incorrect. But the article makes its clear where the employees came from.

DOGE is literally USDS under a new name, per the executive order that created it.

The title is misleading. The people who resigned were former USDS employees, not people brought in by Musk.

They're still DOGE staffers. Title is correct.

Thank god! Some good news!

From TFA: White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields said: "Democrats and the mainstream media have once again gone off the deep end with their breathlessly inaccurate reporting on President Trump’s widely popular mission to rid the federal government of waste, fraud, and abuse. "DOGE has effectively become part of the USDS as a component of the White House, and any leftover career bureaucrats who don’t align with the President or DOGE are neither advised nor welcomed to be a part of this never-before-seen mission to make the government more efficient," Fields added.

This reads like a press release from North Korea or the CCP.
