The more this goes on, the more I figure it needs it's own overview thread. My DOGE daily pisser alarm this day is:

DOGE digs up $2 billion set aside for Stacey Abrams-linked group​

This money was stashed/hidden on, "The grant was awarded in April 2024".

And, guess what,

Stacey Abrams endorses Joe Biden​

CNN
Tue May 12, 2020
Stacey Abrams, who has publicly made the case for why she believes she is well positioned to be Joe Biden’s running mate, endorsed the former vice president on Tuesday, calling him the “leader America needs.”

Any chance it was a bribe for endorsement?????:mad:
 
DOGE said that it had cancelled a number of ED contracts — including a "$4.6M contract to coordinate zoom and in-person meetings," a "$3.0M contract to write a report that showed that prior reports were not utilized by schools," and a "$1.4M contract to physically observe mailing and clerical operations."

So, spend 4.6M to coordinate zoom and in person meetings, then spend 3M to report that nobody uses reports so they need in person meetings?
 
The Small Business Administration (SBA) approved 3,095 loans, totaling $333 million, for borrowers listed as 115 years or older in the Social Security database between 2020 and 2021, according to a post on Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E’s official X account account today.

One of them, officially 157 years old, received $36,000. The Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) called the records part of a massive federal scam.
 
The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency released shocking findings on Sunday that the Biden-Harris administration had awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts to an unexpected group: children.

An agency announcement revealed that the Small Business Administration disbursed $312 million in payments to companies whose purported owners are under the age of 11. This disclosure comes as DOGE works to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in federal spending.

“While it is possible to have business arrangements where this is legal, that is highly unlikely for these 5,593 loans, as they all also used an SSN with the incorrect name,” the agency wrote. “@DOGE and @SBAgov are working together to solve this problem this week.”

In cases involving businesses allegedly owned by children, Biden administrators approved nearly 5,600 such loans between 2020 and 2021—almost all of which were forgiven without repayment after the owners pledged to use the funds to avoid staff layoffs.
 

DOGE finds thousands of fake unemployment claims​

Elon Musk's group wrote in a post on X that its initial review of unemployment insurance claims since 2020 revealed a significant number of unemployment claims from people over 115 years old and between the ages of 1 and 5.

DOGE said that "24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits" while "28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254 million in benefits" and "9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits." It added, "In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k."
 
DOGE, a department led by Elon Musk with sweeping data-sharing powers, said 6,300 individuals paroled into the country since 2023 had criminal or terrorist records.

According to a post from DOGE on X (formerly Twitter), 905 of them, or 14 percent, reportedly received Medicaid benefits totaling $276,000. Some of those recipients were flagged as being on the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center watchlist.

In addition to the Medicaid payouts, 41 individuals received $42,000 in unemployment benefits, 22 received $280,000 in federal student loans, and over 400 received a combined $751,000 in net tax refunds.
