Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

The article reported that a former senior Soviet KGB spy chief claimed Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence 38 years ago and given the codename “Krasnov.”
We are not confirming its validity, only pointing out the unusual nature of its disappearance.
