This is a HUGE scandal.
Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud.
Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%.
Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

DOGE went looking for phone fraud at SSA — and found almost none

What’s interesting about the Oval Office fiasco is that it was Trump who repeatedly claimed during the campaign that he would end the war in ‘24 hours’ and that he was a master negotiator.

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit.

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.
Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.
But here is what we do know. (1/7)
