Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but where is the transparency on which spending they have decided to cut and what exactly that spending was being used for?

Edit: That also doesn't seem to be the official website, which is doge.gov

The title of the website you linked is "THE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY COMMUNITY MEME PROJECT"

It has a section on buying/trading crypto, and the linked X account is @doge_eth_gov which has been suspended.

Dude, you just linked to an unofficial fake site designed to trick excited visitors into buying a cryptocoin without looking at the fine print [0], and its "data" is all stuff that has been public for years.

While I agree that the task of figuring out where the real site is (let alone good+real data from it) is much harder than it ought to be... isn't that itself just another data-point? It indicates the whole thing [1] is being managed in a kind of unprofessional chaotic stupidity.

[0] "#DogeGov has no association with the official DOGE Organization. This token is a community-driven meme project designed to raise awareness of government spending and over-regulation. It has no intrinsic value or financial return expectations and operates without a formal team or roadmap. The token is intended solely for educational and entertainment purposes."

[1] "Department" is too misleading but "a private Presidential Commission undergoing a bizarre corporate-inversion to gut an real department and crawl inside its corpse" is too long to say.

Uh, that's not a government website, and even if it were, clicking around shows vague numbers associated with vague categories. There's no useful information here. There's no transparency here.
