Use of DOGE data for the infobox

[edit]

I am concerned with the information in the infobox section "Department of Government Efficiency involvement" being sourced entirely to DOGE data directly from its website. Multiple sources have described DOGE as regularly making inaccurate, false, and misleading statements of contract terminations on its website, a fact made clear in this article by putting the word "claimed" to preface the alleged cuts. However, taking DOGE's word at face value and putting it in the infobox likely violates WP:PRIMARY and misleads readers by failing to mention that such data may be inaccurate or unreliable. I have added the word "claimed" to the infobox to hopefully stress this point further. More reliable, secondary sources need to be used rather than pulling directly from DOGE's website.
