Description
Michael Lewis turns his journalistic talents to look at how President Trump continued to change the federal government in his second term. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) functioned from 20 January 2025 to 4 July 2026.
The author first identified different core functions of the federal government (e.g. data privacy, fire science, security, and public safety); he then found lifelong, nonpartisan career employees within those agencies whose competence and dedication had been previously recognized and were now viewed as impediments, blocking the way toward change.
