Haven’t seen any talk about the DOGE website launching w/o proper security policies here It’s easy to dunk on, but the reality is they’re clearly going to learn everything the hard way Something sensitive will get turned off or be exposed and all I hope is that it doesn’t kill someone in service to our nation

It’s funny how people ignore the huge number at the top of the website and then find something small to critique instead of the fact BILLIONS of tax dollars were being stolen and he is the only person to ever stop that.

“Only person to ever stop that” is an insane thing to say man. The number on top of the website is a big “trust me bro” from a group of people with zero context about how government systems work who have already walked back some of the wilder headline claims (after they had their intended destabilizing effect) Do I think tax dollars get misused? For sure, same as it ever was. Do I think Elon is personally defending me, my values, and my country? No way. After a certain point, a billionaire fundamentally cannot empathize with somebody outside their tax bracket because their experience of reality is so aggressively different than a normal persons. He hasn’t had an existential concern in decades.

You would choose to spend your tax dollars on this? $2.5M for "inclusive democracies in Southern Africa” $47M for "improving learning outcomes in Asia” $2M to develop "sustainable recycling models" to "increase socio-economic cohesion among marginalized communities of Kosovo Roma, Ashkali, and Egypt” That’s a legit question you should be able to answer because it’s black or white yes or no.

all cited USAID waste figures and "shock stats" that ive seen, cumulatively, including your 3 above, add up to less than 500m, which is 1% of the *annual* USAID budget all this outrage about specific line items is arguing over a rounding error, it's like getting a divorce because your spouse donates $10 to charity

Reality and “what you have seen” doesn’t match up. Here’s the fully itemized list: https://www.doge-tracker.com/

the leaderboard says they saved 420m at USAID and the "wtf" leaderboard has less than 50m remaining on it https://www.doge-tracker.com/wtf show me where they saved billions (2%+) on USAID also this site looks like a really disreputable source, insufficient citations for everything, seems like it's designed to maximize outrage rather than present information coherently
