Youโ€™d think when youโ€™re claiming the richest country in the world canโ€™t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

DOGE Claims Credit for Killing Contracts That Were Already Dead Elon Muskโ€™s group claimed credit for canceling procurement agreements that had been completed years earlier, the latest in a string of public errors on its site.

"Just a big mess": Musk's team claims credit for saving $53.7 million for "canceling" a federal contract that in fact was just for $144,000 and was actually completed 20 years ago. @Fahrenthold.bsky.social @sangerkatz.bsky.social @jsvine.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by Musk's DOGE are expected to produce no savings Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that President Donald Trumpโ€™s administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program arenโ€™t expected to save the government any money,...

AP: โ€œ.. Data published on DOGEโ€™s โ€œWall of Receiptsโ€ shows that more than one-third of the contract cancellations, 794 in all, are expected to yield no savings.โ€

Donโ€™t go. Have Pete Buttigieg fact check it in real time, make sure thatโ€™s recorded, and post the hell out of it everywhere. And maybe just go ahead and fact check him loudly and publicly ALL. THE. TIME.

Puffins are so fun & cute! Their mating call sounds like a chainsaw (if youโ€™re there during mating season)! They fly beautifully, but donโ€™t land well-they just kind of PLOP! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

DOGE lists 1,125 canceled contracts, claiming $7.2 billion in savingsโ€”but many were already completed, meaning no money was actually saved. In fact, 417 contracts saved $0, and another 51 added up to less than $1 million.

Misinformation spreads fastโ€”sharing to set the record straight.

Thank you for hearing them out and giving them a place to feel welcome. More division will not help!

Would love to see you become the Dem press secretary and start having daily press conferences to give the truth about what is happening. Invite all the MSM and also independent journalists and creators.

Then stop letting them. Your word salad helps no one. Do. Your. Job.
