Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, trying to move on from his election-year feud with President Donald Trump, has praised the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency task force seeking to dismantle federal agencies and fire thousands of civil servants, saying DOGE has pierced government workers' "aura of invincibility" and even bragging his own administration was "DOGE before DOGE was cool."
