It's been quiet. The media has been focusing more on simping for MS-13 gang members than spreading misinformation about the work Cousin Elon and his DOGE crew were doing. But waste, fraud, and/or abuse are still being uncovered. The team sat down for a round table on Fox News to explain point by point about what they've been doing and what they've been finding. They need to be doing this more because when they do, it's informative while also making you stabby.

Apropos of nothing, you gotta appreciate Cousin Elon's commitment to the bit.

Two things caught my attention. The first was the television debut of Big Balls, who is working on payment processing. Keep in mind, the democrat party wants credit card companies to code any firearms purchases you make so that they can track how you spend your money. However, when it comes to tracking how they spend OUR money?

There's no accounting of what payments actually go to. If you look at a specific line item like $20 million, and you're like, "Okay, what is this money going to?" For the majority of payment systems, it's like, "Well, we don't really know?"

Then you had what was most alarming to the DOGE team. When America was first formed, there were only four agencies. Now there are over 400. One of them is something called the "Institute for Peace," where they (checks note) have a massive arsenal and give money to the Taliban.

I'll let DOGE explain, but this is what stands out:

I think the most troubling thing was they received $55 million a year from Congress and any money that went unspent, instead of returning that to Congress, they would sweep it into a private bank account, which had no congressional oversight. And that’s what they would use to fund things like events at their headquarters and the private jets. And so I think it’s a great example because most Americans don’t know what’s going on at a lot of these smaller agencies.

We underestimate how much of a gamechanger DOGE's work is and can be if messaged right to the American people. When they are given the chance to explain what they are finding, it's paradigm-shifting.
