DOGE Makes Its Latest Errors Harder to Find (Gift Article)
Elon Musk’s group obscured the details of some new claims on its website, despite promises of transparency. But The Times was still able to detect another batch of mistakes.

It's hard to write gripping stories about the failure to discover fraud, but this is probably the most important takeaway from the DOGE circus.
After taking unprecedented (illegal) access to federal data systems, DOGE has found basically no substantial waste, fraud, or abuse.
They've lied a lot but come up quite empty in reality.

Three things worth knowing about the current fiscal debate:
1. When they're talking about savings, the numbers are usually billions (though sometimes millions).
2. When they're talking about tax cuts, the numbers are usually trillions.
3. A trillion is a thousand times larger than a billion.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

This is 67 cases--a tiny fraction of TB's global burden, which exceeds 10,000,000 active cases per year.
But the longer we allow a curable illness to infect and kill millions, the more TB we'll see in the U.S. Tuberculosis is an airborne disease, and TB anywhere is a threat to humans everywhere.
