DOGE Vastly Overstated Its Real Estate Cuts — Then Spent Two Months Backtracking

It took less than two months for DOGE to tout big wins on the real estate front.

The leases of hundreds of federal buildings — 748, to be exact — had been terminated, DOGE said, meaning their payments would no longer serve as a burden on the U.S. balance sheet. Had it been accurate, that figure would have represented 10 percent of the total leases managed by the General Services Administration.

By early March, DOGE ascribed a dollar amount to those savings: $660 million.
