“The U.S. DOGE Service is using a new artificial intelligence tool to slash federal regulations, with the goal of eliminating half of Washington’s regulatory mandates by the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration,” the Washington Post reports.

“The tool, called the ‘DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,’ is supposed to analyze roughly 200,000 federal regulations to determine which can be eliminated because they are no longer required by law.”

1. True, the distinction will be the bias...

Yes, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established by an executive order from President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, is actively working to slash federal regulations. Its stated mission includes modernizing federal technology, maximizing efficiency, and reducing regulations and spending. Several executive orders, such as EO 14219 (February 19, 2025) and EO 14270 (April 9, 2025), direct agency heads to review and rescind regulations deemed unconstitutional, unlawful, or burdensome to the national interest, in coordination with DOGE team leads. A post on X from July 26, 2025, claims DOGE has developed an AI tool to cut 50% of federal regulations, targeting 100,000 regulations by January 2026. However, these efforts have faced legal challenges, with critics arguing that DOGE’s actions may violate laws like the Administrative Procedure Act and raise constitutional concerns.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Government_Efficiency)[](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/02/25/2025-03138/ensuring-lawful-governance-and-implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency)[](https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/ensuring-lawful-governance-and-implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency-regulatory-initiative/)

3. I have a problem with the word regulation

It is commonly used (and abused) by R's as a synonym for red tape. I wish our side would not adopt their language, and would call them "safeguards" or "consumer protections" or whatever.

5. Problem is...

Their wording is the ACTUAL wording of the departments, and what they do, which is to regulate. The Nuclear REGULATORY Agency comes to mind.

Besides, agencies like EPA, BATFE, OSHA regulate....That's simply what they do and calling it something else makes it seem like regulating is a bad word. Red tape is the essence of regulation.
