Nothing will come of it. The guy took his toilets out of his mansion to skirt his local property taxes, which are probably close to six figures (likely 6 figures) annually here in IL. That's a bigger deal to the local tax payer and I don't believe anything happened. I sure as shit couldn't away with with that.

Although there's alway the chance his fat ass broke them. Then that would be fat shaming. The left has an excuse for everything.

The Democrat trotted in a Blind guy who has been doing the DOGE job since before Trump came in office.
He's up there being the companion piece for the Democrat hyperbole that Elon is making oversight and fraud investigation harder to track.

These people are insane, they exhibit at every turn just how much they lack critical thinking skills.

I posted this elsewhere, but I recall a sign in the Florida Publix supermarket: "42 million people are receiving food assistance."

Can you believe this shit??

Cut off the fat welfare queens' food stamps (called EBT today).

Musk offered many examples of fraud, waste, and abuse. Elon said the $59 million that FEMA paid to New York hotels to house illegal migrants this week was at double normal room rates—even at a 100% occupancy rate. The space billionaire also announced that DOGE found some people over 150 years old who are still collecting Social Security. “I think they're probably dead, is my guess, or they should be very famous, one of the two,” Musk quipped.

Maybe most shocking, Elon reported that only 10,000 government employees could resign in a month because the records are stored in a literal mine shaft, and record processing is constrained by the speed of the mine elevator. The federal government recently spent $160 million to “modernize” this sad state of affairs and failed, so they just gave up. More waste and abuse.

"You know what?,” Elon rhetorically asked reporters. “Instead of working in a mineshaft, carrying manila envelopes to boxes in a mine, you could do practically anything else.”

It was a fusillade of devastating counter-leaks.

But what probably most panicked the Swamp creatures was when Elon said —with the President of the United States nodding along right beside him— that DOGE plans to investigate public officials who somehow got rich in office despite their nominal salaries. Boom again.

This presser was the kill shot. It made the TROs laughably irrelevant. The Deep State is realizing it has been caught in an inescapable death spiral—and the Oval Office press conference was the final checkmate move in another one-day tactical massacre. Yesterday’s assault on the Swamp was for the highest stakes yet.

The optics were brilliantly engineered. By having Musk—America’s most famous billionaire entrepreneur and a former Democrat—standing next to Trump in the Oval Office, it looked like a formal, apolitical status update. It framed DOGE as a neutral, fact-finding operation. It shoved the media into an indefensible crouch—they had to attack Musk, but in doing so they attacked transparency. It showed family values and unity—Musk’s young son’s presence subtly signaled that the next generation is watching.

Musk’s no-doubt carefully chosen examples of wasteful spending were a master stroke. FEMA paying double rates for migrant hotels while North Carolinians live in tents in freezing weather? Social Security checks still going to people over 150 years old? For real? A literal mine shaft bottlenecking manual record processing? It was beyond inefficiency—most Americans heard it as criminally negligent, at best.

As far as the narrative goes, Elon Musk just deployed the single most dangerous rhetorical weapon the Deep State has ever faced, when he asked, “If the bureaucracy is in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have?” Trump has brilliantly shifted the narrative. It’s no longer about Republicans vs. Democrats. It’s about The People vs. The Bureaucracy.

The Deep State spent the weekend celebrating its judicial bottlenecks, believing it had stalled Trump’s momentum. Instead, they woke up yesterday to three separate existential threats unfolding at the same time.

1. The announcement of the pending reconciliation bill put Congress on the chessboard. If Congress cuts the Deep State’s purse strings, the courts have nothing to say. The Swamp now faces the horrifying prospect that its most powerful agencies may be actually defunded, not just paused.

Take the money away, and the Deep State starves. That was the first existential threat.

2. Anna Paulina Luna’s Declassification Task Force threatens to start a systematic, ongoing unraveling of decades of classified secrets. But more importantly, it will give Congress the excuse to strip off the Deep State’s institutional cover, by reining in overclassification. The Deep State cannot survive in sunlight. That was the second existential threat.

3. Finally, Musk’s DOGE status report put uncooperative public officials on notice. It’s now a possible criminal investigation. They can resist, but resistance only draws more attention to themselves. And, while corporate media continues trying to deny it, since Elon brought receipts, the bureaucracy is on notice. The counter-leaks will continue.

The Deep State thought it could box in Trump with legal challenges, but he’s moved the fight to Congress and to public disclosure, where the judiciary has no power.

But even that wasn’t all. Trump made sure. He scorched the Earth.

The UK Independent ran the story under the headline, “Trump signs order handing Musk and DOGE more power to slash federal workforce.” The sub-headline added, “The new executive order forbids agencies from hiring more than one new worker for every four who leave government service.” But that was just the start.

Leading off Musk’s status report, President Trump signed a new executive order titled, “Implementing The President's ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ Workforce Optimization Initiative.” Effective immediately, it required all federal agencies to cooperate with DOGE and its cost-cutting operations. It ordered agencies to “coordinate and consult with DOGE to shrink the size of the federal workforce and limit hiring to essential positions.”

It also ordered the Office of Personnel Management to publish new rules governing federal worker conduct. Now, federal workers will be required to (a) be citizens, (b) timely file their tax returns, (c) comply with non-disclosure requirements (i.e. stop leaking), and (d) not engage in “theft or misuse of Government resources and equipment, or negligent loss of Government resources and equipment.” ...

But more importantly, it is another avenue of attack against the deep state. Leaking, and intentional or even negligent waste, are now terminable offenses. Any bureaucrat resisting DOGE’s work will now breaking a direct executive order.

Uh, Oh! Looks like the ripples might turn into a tidal wave.

Count on Trump to have laid the plan and now he is blowing up their skirts. These audits were already known quantities done by Trump and his assets behind the scenes, and the genius team is a ruse to mock the bloodlines and their 'genius' coined billionaire spawns? The big balls team exists to scare the bejeesus that an algorithm and a computer can unseat their corruption in a matter of days?
Illuminati wars are interesting.

The Department of Education (DOE) is canceling more than $100 million in grants to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) sweep of "wasteful" spending.

DOGE, the department led by Elon Musk to cut costs within the federal government, announced the termination of 89 DOE contracts totaling $881 million in a post on X Monday night.

Of the nearly $1 billion, DOGE identified $101 million that was being used for DEI training, including teaching educators to "help students understand/interrogate the complex histories involved in oppression, and help students recognize areas of privilege and power on an individual and collective basis."

"Your tax dollars were spent on this," Musk wrote of the DOE spending.

According to DOGE, the education department spent another $1.5 million on a contractor to "observe mailing and clerical operations" at a mail center, which was also terminated in the recent spending sweep.

"DEI was never about ‘equity’—it was about enforcing ideological conformity and institutionalizing discrimination. Shutting down these wasteful, divisive programs is a win for every student," Nicki Neily, founder and president of Parents Defending Education, said in response to the spending cut.

"More states need to follow suit," Neily said.

Erika Donalds, wife of Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, also wrote in response that "the kids can’t read."

DOGE has been leading efforts to vacuum spending within the DOE, announcing in early February the termination of three grants including one funding an institution that had reportedly "previously hosted faculty workshops entitled 'Decolonizing the Curriculum.'"

In his first slew of executive orders, President Donald Trump launched a federal review of DEI teachings and practices in educational institutions receiving federal funding.

Amid the Trump-Vance crackdown on certain teachings, several colleges, such as Missouri State University and West Virginia University, have begun closing their DEI offices.

Dylan is not only the director of an NGO in a moment where NGOs are being used to push for and enact policy under the table with kickbacks from USAID and other government entities.

He's specifically a director at an NGO that gets a large chunk of its money from the Open Society Foundations, a grantmaking entity created by the one and only George Soros.

Let's see if DOGE can reach its goal to "save" $2 trillion by 4 July 2026.

I judge a lot of this by the bottom line which is the 2025 deficit at least is not greater than Biden's 2024 deficit of $1.9 trillion. That would be the first time since 2001 that the annual deficit did not increase compared to the previous year deficit.

They can cut out all or most of Biden's +$47 million in annual payments for student loan forgiveness.

I'm pretty sure that Trump as the 'man in the mountain' (Cheyenne Mountain specifically) conducted the bulk of these audits already on the down low with his crew because any public audits of sensitive government or military always seemed to wind up with the auditors compromised or dead.

The 'big balls' kinder squad are unspoiled and unblackmailed to date, probably have the audits pre-loaded on their computers.

Musk is emceeing the whole thing as the illuminati mirror trick of genius kids to scare the crap out of the crooks that kids with laptops and algorithms have that kind of instant summoning power. It seems to be working well so far.

It would be nice if the kinder wunder were true, but if you ever audited even a small business, you would realize the complex mess an audit is until things get untangled over lengthy periods of time. It's the antithesis of instant gratification.
