DOGE claims to have "saved" tens of billions in fraudulent government spending, but don't be fooled — all they've really done is illegally cut a bunch of congressionally-appropriated funding that Elon Musk doesn't like.
Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud
All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."

HIRONO: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election, yes or no?
PATEL: President Biden's election was certified
HIRONO: The people who are 100 percent loyal to Trump can't answer that question. It's alarming that you want to be an FBI director but can't answer.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

"Trump won the crucial blue wall states... by 231,000 votes? So if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states – or 0.7% of the total – had switched from Trump to Harris, it is the vice-president who would have won the electoral college … and the presidency" - me for the Guardian:

In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false
