https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2733310.htmlA bigger hole: Trump has already spent $155bn more than Biden. Musk now claims DOGE only saved $150bn
The Trump administration has already spent $155 billion more than former President Joe Biden did over the same period of time after their inaugurations, according to Treasury Department data. And Elon Musk is now claiming that his Department of Government Efficiency has only managed to save $150 billion.
That means that despite tens of thousands of government workers being fired, agencies shuttered, contracts cut and federal services dramatically reduced, the current administration has already racked up an additional $5 billion of debt than the Biden administration in the same space of time.
And it’s not clear that DOGE has saved anywhere near $150 billion. Every time Musk posts “receipts” to show off DOGE’s savings, they’re riddled with errors.
...
Same disingenuous bull Winehole tried pushing.
You should really stop running to ST and reposting everything you find on Bluesky
it's 7.5% of the savings he claimed would happen
Only TSA could possibly try hyping this.
Tell your Republicans to pass a ing budget for once. I dare you.
Rubes like TSA will see the Republicans explode the debt once again and say that was the plan all along.
https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecurit...r-says/404574/User with Russian IP address tried to log into NLRB systems following DOGE access, whistleblower says
A user with a Russian IP address tried to log into National Labor Relations Board systems just minutes after the Department of Government Efficiency moved to access and extract troves of sensitive data from inside the agency, according to an extensive whistleblower disclosure released Tuesday.
The whistleblower, Daniel Berulis, provided forensic evidence and internal do entation to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, accusing DOGE of exfiltrating large volumes of confidential data and disabling various security monitoring systems used to scan for malicious behavior in NLRB’s networks, NPR first reported.
The user attempting to log in relied on a newly created DOGE email account and the attempts were “near real-time,” according to the Berulis disclosure. It’s not clear whether the user was actually in Russia because hackers often use techniques to remotely mask their true location.
The login attempts were blocked, but the person used a correct username and password, suggesting that adversaries may already be testing entry points potentially exposed by DOGE’s activities across the government.
The whistleblower’s disclosure was accompanied by a cover letter from his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of Whistleblower Aid, which said that, after he raised concerns internally about DOGE’s inroads into the agency, he received a physically taped threat on his door containing personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog.

“They’re not really using AI, they’re not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything,” the former official said.

Mark 5
New International Version
Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man
5 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
& the richest man in the world.

https://prospect.org/power/2025-04-1...s-direct-file/Intuit, Owner of TurboTax, Wins Battle Against America’s Taxpayers
For nearly three decades, a cold war has raged through the halls of Congress and in high-end s fish restaurants perched precariously on Washington, D.C.’s southern coast. The battle lines have shifted between successive administrations, sometimes tilting toward proletariat victory, and sometimes cutting fast toward total surrender to corporate America.
This month, thanks to the whims of the president and hefty sums of cash, Donald Trump has amended an old axiom to guarantee that nothing in life is certain but death, and paying money to file your taxes.
According to a report by the Associated Press this week, the IRS is moving to shut down its free tax filing program known as Direct File, with employees working on the program told to stall work on future iterations. The news comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax and the biggest player in tax preparation software, spent years tirelessly fighting any attempt by the government to bring the nightmarish American system of tax collection into line with European nations that have streamlined most citizens’ filing process down to the click of a button.

the costs of DOGE's actions will nearly match the announced savings
DOGE's firings, and the ways they did it, will cost the federal government $135 billion this fiscal year, www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...
The best part? He & the old man planned this and kept it secret until a fortnight before Election Day. That is amazing. No leakage whatsoever. You never had the chance to plant a load of spies. Here, there, sure there are some, but, no booby traps, no bombs planted. Those 2 caught ya's nappin & sleepin'.
Trump is bitter, murderous in many respects. He can handle it at this point. But, they'll be breaking point for him and he'll manically tear for it when the time is right. He'll know. Those sons are lit, especially the kid. He knew precisely what had happened, and he wants vengeance.
God's speed.
DOGE slowed down SSA phone claims significantly, but found very little fraud
https://www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...t-none/405346/After installing anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone early last month, the Social Security Administration is considering walking back the policy after finding only two cases that had a high probability of being fraudulent.
The anti-fraud tool set up last month after weeks of changes to the agency’s telephone policies has slowed retirement claim processing by 25% and led to a "degradation of public service,” according to an internal May do ent obtained by Nextgov/FCW that examined potentially cutting the anti-fraud tool for phone claims.
Under the new policy, the agency found that only two benefit claims out of over 110,000 had a high probability of being fraudulent — and they aren’t guaranteed to be so. Less than 1% of claims were flagged as even potentially fraudulent at all.
“No significant fraud has been detected from the flagged cases,” the internal do ent said.
The attention to fraud, however, did cause delays, as SSA changed its phone procedures to add the checks on the backend.
The lags stem from the three-day hold placed on telephone claims in order to run the antifraud claims, a move that “delays payments and benefits to customers, despite an extremely low risk of fraud,” as the do ent noted
DOGE created government waste...up to 60,000 metric tons of it

Food rations that could supply 3.5 million people for a month are mouldering in warehouses around the world because of U.S. aid cuts and risk becoming unusable, according to five people familiar with the situation.
The food stocks have been stuck inside four U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programmes, according to three people who previously worked at the U.S. Agency for International Development and two sources from other aid organisations
Musk has saved money personally by stiffing canvassers
Somewhat aside, the Saving Austin PAC El0n propped up to defeat Travis County DA Jose Garza (they failed) has never filed public disclosure -- a Class A misdemeanor that can be punished by up to a year in jail
https://thehill.com/regulation/court...suit-pe ion/A second class-action lawsuit has been filed against Elon Musk’s America PAC alleging that the group hasn’t paid voters what they were promised for signing a pe ion during President Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Three plaintiffs from Pennsylvania, Nevada and Georgia filed the lawsuit last week on behalf of anyone who is in the same situation, accusing the super PAC of not paying them in full for their signatures or for referring other voters to sign. The pe ion declared support for the First and Second amendments to the Cons ution.
Musk and the group originally offered signatories, and those who refer others to sign, $47 for their signature and each person they refer before raising the amount to $100. The offer was just for those living in battleground states during the presidential election.
But the plaintiffs allege they weren’t paid the promised amount for signing or referring other registered voters to sign. The complaint states that one plaintiff, Steven Reid, worked as a canvasser for America PAC in Michigan and Georgia and referred “many voters” to sign but hasn’t received the reward despite “multiple attempts” to collect.
The complaint states that Reid estimates he is owed at least several thousand dollars for the referrals.
“Plaintiffs are in communication with numerous others who referred voters to sign the America PAC pe ion, who are likewise frustrated that they did not receive full payments for their referrals,” the suit reads.
This is the second lawsuit against America PAC over alleged nonpayment regarding the pe ion, after a man from Pennsylvania anonymously filed a complaint last month making similar allegations. That man alleged that Musk and the group owe him $20,000 for gathering signatures.
He said he made repeated attempts to contact the organization but “to no avail.”
according to rumor, the Millers and Musk are a throuple
