If anything, this is too low. Scalable (with less checks and redundancies) can allow some overpayments but reduce overall cost of running the system
After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%.
So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Elon Musk and his DOGE minions wrecked the Social Security Administration for no reason at all.

Important news from US-China trade talks:
1. The US will cut the rate at which it taxes Americans who buy stuff from China, to 30%
2. China will cut the rate at which it taxes Chinese folks who buy stuff from the US, to 10%.
It's another Ross and Rachel moment: A 90-day pause.

With the track record of this administration, I can’t believe stock futures are up without any details
The White House claimed in a news release Sunday that the “U.S. Announces China Trade Deal in Geneva,” but it has not provided any details on an agreement.

But lots of rank and file union members voted Republican
In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

I’m not sure I agree. Executive orders are “planning memos”. It’s when Congress, Agencies, Courts, parties, press, and people treat them as laws that they erode democracy.
The overuse of executive orders reflects a systemic erosion of democratic process. Unilateral decrees replace legislative debate and undermine the balance of powers at the heart of constitutional governance.
