I've been hoping, waiting that Sky would provide their own source highlighting ongoings of DOGE that are not so great.
The gov source obviously highlights the good, and the net sum. There is a data gap though right now. Allegedly their data will become more complete and realtime as they work in the tooling.
Honestly, much better government site than most. Have had to deal with a lot of gov sites in a past job. Shoddy web 1.0 apparitions
There's a disconnect in how this stuff happens and what people think. When government makes changes to the tens of thousands of agreements they have with other agencies, with vendors and suppliers, there isn't a central database where it neatly categorizes and publicizes all of this stuff. Before DOGE, all this stuff would happen in the background and no lay person would ever be aware. Sure maybe a journalist wants to publicize something, but overwhelmingly many of these changes would not be publicized, just like 99% of us had no idea the amount of DEI dollars USAID was distributing all over the globe.
This tracker is not official but it's the best they can do before these changes are actually catalogued and disclosed from some official source.
