I don't care what they report, but they don't have any independent parties going along verifying anything.


I haven't seen any dem politicians or their state run media, requesting independent parties to verify DOGE audits.

They don't seem to be arguing with DOGE findings. More than a billion dollars a day in waste discovered every day.

Only DOGE' right to access the records.

So far all they've been doing is trying to block DOGE access with lawsuits.

'Among the $132 million in USDA terminated contracts are:'

Funding the State Run Media:
$2.77 million in media contracts, including Politico subscriptions


$374,000 for a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Onboarding Specialist

Check out these two:
$229,000 for a Brazilian Forest and Gender Consultant
$29,000 for a Central American Gender Assessment Consultant

$121,000 for a Women and Forest Carbon Initiative Mentorship Program
$254,000 for Diversity Dialogue Workshops
$91,000 for “training, education, and access to professional and economic opportunities for women and increasing their participation in climate change adaptation activities” in African, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and Caribbean regions.

Sick CNN Whitehouse correspondent Kaitlan Collins posts link to a fund raising website for Luigi Mangione.

Before she slides off her chair, someone should tell her ADX Supermax prison doesn't allow conjugal visits.

$25k? I’d bet it was easily more than $1 million. Added security costs are ridiculous, but necessary.

I’ve relayed this story before. I was in DC for a conference during Obama administration. Was just walking from hotel to a restaurant. A zillion cops are on the streets not letting anyone cross the streets. So I stood and watched. A bunch of motorcycles stream by. Followed by a bunch of black SUVs. Then the presumed Presidential limo. Then more cars and motorcycles AND an ambulance. I chatted with one of the bored stiff cops. He said Obama was going out to dinner. And this was one of THREE motorcades with the same security contingent, two being imposters. I can’t imagine what that $100 steak cost us! But if someone takes the most dangerous job in the world, we have to protect him.


That being said, I’m ok with the Trump Daytona whirl. If you asked the fans there’s bet over 90% were happy with the expenditure.

And the examples listed that started this conversation are egregious, and of course likely just the tip of the iceberg.

ns.


Doesn't matter if no one said it. I don't care if it was Abraham Lincoln and Jesus doing this, it's stupid not to have some independent verification of basically auditing the entire wealth of US.

It seems multiple people are just abandoning basic principles. You tell me the harm it would do?

Boohoo. You support the biggest criminal liar, President. Do your own research.

Will Kathy Hochul remove Mayor Adams? News is saying she's considering it. Not sure what that process is.

I don’t think she will. It would appear (and likely be!) another example of politics superseding the will of the people. He was elected. By a vast majority. Was in good stead in the Democrat Party until he started sounding rational by criticizing the Biden administration on the border disaster. Then he got charged with crimes. I think all charges have been dropped.

I said this about Trump. There is an election soon for Mayor. Let the people decide if he’s fit to be mayor. Not the grossly incompetent governor!
Whatever you think of the result, the People decided Trump was going to be President. Not a bunch of whiney ass crybaby Democrat politicians. Let the people of NYC decide.

It will be super fun in Cuomo tries to run against Adams!
