What we know about claim DOGE stopped payments to children whose parents died | Snopes.com - "On March 22, 2025, Barry Kaufmann, president of the New York State Alliance for Retired Americans, said (archived) at a rally in White Plains, New York, that Small Business Administration loans "discovered" (archived) by the Department of Government Efficiency paid to children 11 or younger were actually "survivor benefit annuities" — using the same SBA acronym — paid to children whose parents had died... While he was referring to DOGE's SBA loan announcement on March 9, the claim of the funding belonging to the survivor benefit annuity — a benefit paid to eligible spouses, or sometimes children, of federal retirees — clashes with what federal officials have said. The Small Business Administration confirmed the existence of more than "5,500 loans, totaling about $312M" to businesses "whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger" on March 12 — 10 days before Kaufmann's claim. DOGE had said it was working with the SBA to "solve this problem." After the initial publication of this story, Kaufmann said via email that he had "confused SBA loans with SSA survivor benefits" during his March 22 address. "I had seen this claim online and repeated it without verifying it independently. I regret the error," he said."

There's delicious irony in Rep. Sara Jacobs—granddaughter of Qualcomm billionaire Irwin Jacobs—filing legislation to "defund" a government efficiency initiative that costs taxpayers absolutely nothing. In the most revealing self-own of 2025, Jacobs' "Delete DOGE Act" exposes the true anxiety of Washington's connected elite: not that government will spend too much, but that someone might actually examine where all those billions are going and who benefits. The DOGE initiative represents everything establishment politicians fear—transparency, accountability, and worst of all, a high-profile figure with the technical expertise to identify bloated contracts, administrative waste, and sweetheart deals that have lined corporate pockets for decades. Unlike the alphabet soup of taxpayer-funded NGOs that function as slush funds for connected insiders and landing pads for bureaucrats awaiting their next administration appointment, DOGE operates with zero taxpayer dollars while generating billions in savings.

EXCLUSIVE: DOJ Explores Criminal Charges Against Ousted USIP Mutineers - "former USIP leadership tried to block the installation of Kenneth Jackson, who President Donald Trump appointed as the institute’s new president on March 14. The Trump administration determined the institute had failed to comply with a Feb. 19 executive order requiring federally funded organizations like USIP to scale operations down to their bare statutory minimums, triggering a leadership shakeup the institute attempted to resist. USIP leadership began preparing for a confrontation weeks before the executive order was issued. A Feb. 6 internal document exclusively obtained by the DCNF outlined plans to deny building access to outside officials and reasserted the institute’s discretion over security systems and facilities. Flyers with the names and photos of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officials were posted throughout the building, instructing staff to report their presence and avoid conversation... After Jackson and other DOGE officials arrived on March 14 with law enforcement and a copy of Trump’s order, they were turned away by USIP’s legal counsel, sources previously told the DCNF. Over the following weekend, USIP leadership escalated its resistance — terminating its private security firm, disabling internet and phone systems and resorting to walkie-talkie communication inside the building. DOGE officials returned Monday to find the building locked down and staff barricaded on the fifth floor. USIP officials called the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), sources previously told the DCNF, who only later arrived at the request of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C. after reports of obstruction by institute staff. MPD entered the fifth floor through emergency stairwells and removed former USIP President George Moose and other senior officials from the premises."

J.D. Tuccille: Why Elon Musk's DOGE is a failure - "depending on how you look at it, DOGE has so far delivered something between disappointment and failure. When the idea of DOGE was first floated, Musk boldly predicted that $2 trillion could be cut from the federal budget. Predictably, after the election was won by Donald Trump and his Republicans, Musk hedged a bit, saying “I think if we try for $2 trillion, we’ve got a good shot at getting $1 (trillion).” That was a walk-back, but still a credible effort to address a federal government that is on its way to spending $6.75 trillion this year and takes a growing bite from the economy. As the U.S. Department of the Treasury puts it, “since 2015, the spending to GDP ratio has increased from 20 per cent to 23 per cent.” One trillion dollars might sound like a lot to cut from the federal government, but it’s just a bit more than half of the $1.83 trillion deficit the federal government ran last year. The U.S. federal government has consistently spent more than it takes in for a quarter of a century, borrowing to make up the difference in an ongoing unofficial policy of fiscal irresponsibility. It has run up a national debt that currently stands just shy of $36 trillion or around 100 per cent of gross domestic product if we just look at debt held by the public and not money the government owes itself. But despite its high-profile efforts over the protests of flustered federal workers and frenzied advocates of ever-expanding government, DOGE hasn’t cut $2 trillion. DOGE hasn’t cut $1 trillion. On its website, Elon Musk’s creation boasts of saving $175 billion. And that may be a bit of an exaggeration. According to a Reuters analysis, DOGE’s own data reveals cuts that “add up to less than half of that figure.” Worse, the analysis found the federal government “spent about $250 billion more during the first months of Trump’s administration than it did during the same period of time last year.” Part of the disparity between DOGE’s claims and the Treasury figures comes from tallying errors by the cost-cutters. Also, judges reversed or delayed spending cuts and agency closures. The huge federal debt also plays a role, with interest payments up by about 22 per cent from last year. The federal government’s ongoing borrowing spree is not just displacing other federal priorities, but also the ability to reduce the cost of government — leaving the taxpayers with bills to pay for expenditures years in the past. Also, DOGE is an advisory agency with no enforcement power of its own. Even a president inclined to slash the size and power of the federal government can’t do so unilaterally. That requires congressional approval. And legislators aren’t inclined to tell their constituents that it’s time for tough fiscal medicine; a bill set to be introduced this week will contemplate all of $9.4 billion in DOGE-recommended cuts... Elon Musk also sees fault in a federal government run by people who like to talk about reform but have no interest in the tradeoffs it requires. Before leaving the Trump administration, he criticized the House-passed version of President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” full of domestic policy priorities. Musk said he was “disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit.” After all, there’s little point in DOGE proposing spending cuts if Congress is going to more than offset them with expensive new boondoggles intended to buy votes in the next election. The ultimate failure of DOGE is probably baked into the U.S. federal government itself. By most reports, it has been (and continues to be) a sincere if not always competent effort to reduce the size and cost of federal agencies, supported in principle by the White House and some lawmakers. But the federal government thrives on purchasing goodwill from the public with unaffordable programs. And its employees gain status and fulfillment by expanding their reach into every nook and cranny of life... According to the Congressional Budget Office’s latest alternative scenario projections, if federal spending and revenues continue on the path they’ve followed for 30 years “federal debt held by the public in 2055 would exceed 250 per cent of GDP.” That’s well over the maximum 200 per cent of GDP that economists at the Penn-Wharton Budget Model believe the federal government can sustain before “defaulting on its debt,” with all of the ensuing mayhem that you’d expect to result."
The main value of DOGE is in exposing the funding of the left wing agenda rather than saving money

As Media Freaks Over 1 DOGE Employee Getting IRS Access, We Learn Biden Gave 919 People Access - "Gavin Kliger, a software engineer who works at DOGE, will be based at the IRS for 120 days, and he will reportedly have access to the tax agency’s data, according to a Monday report from CNN. Kliger will work as a senior adviser for the IRS acting commissioner... One report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration revealed that as of September 2023, there were as many as 919 individuals who had access to unmasked IRS data. The unmasked data contains personally identifiable information and “requires executive level approval” to access. Roughly 20 of those individuals were “researchers and student volunteers.” In other words, the media and the Democrats had no reason to be concerned about novices and young people accessing information in our government until the Trump administration came into power -- and until that power was used to threaten the bureaucracy they love so dearly. No matter how much Wyden, Warren, and their professional propagandists at CNN complain, these efforts toward government efficiency will continue. If anything, it is more clear than ever that the Democrats have simply run out of ideas to stop it."

Woke PhD student whines over FBI visit after his horrifying Trump essay went viral - "Secret Service officers have visited a PhD student after he published a viral essay asking when it would be time to 'kill' Donald Trump's administration... 'If the present administration chooses this course (of sweeping away courts and democracy), then the questions of the day can be settled not with legislation, but with blood and iron,' Decker wrote in the blog post. 'In short, we must decide when we must kill them. None of us wish for war, but if the present administration wishes to destroy the nation I would accept war rather than see it perish.' His essay describes the Trump administration as 'evil' and 'engaged in barbarism' by 'arbitrarily' imprisoning opponents, revoking the visas of 'thousands of students' and imposing taxes 'without the consent' of the American people. Decker previously voiced support for Luigi Mangione being sentenced to death on April 11 - though confusingly he also lusted over the alleged assassin of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in the days after the December 4 shooting."
