Contracts Update! Over the last 5 days, agencies terminated 163 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $1.9B and savings of $647M, including, a $35M USAID contract to “acquire contractor support to establish and manage a flexible, quick response mechanism supporting activities that will support democracy and stability in El Salvador”, a $280k DOI contract for “horse mounted patrol groom services”, a $102k DOT contract for an “assessment specialist academics provost office”, a $179k State Dept. contract for “customized English language training to the US embassy in Yerevan, Armenia”, and a $25k DOI contract to “provide facilitation, collaborative problem solving services”.

More riddles for @RoKhanna. The President of El Salvador came to the same conclusion as DOGE and celebrated the shutdown of USAID. Are you accusing the President who reduced his country’s murder rate by 95% of supporting the murder of children?

This is the real reason they’re mad at Elon Musk and DOGE for shutting down USAID.

I'm pleased to invite @Wemby to our second Commission on Government Efficiency hearing on Wednesday June 10th 5-8pm, where we'll be asking the public for their thoughts on how government can run better. Would love to have you there for the whole time!

This morning we are introducing COGE — the Commission on Government Efficiency.

This Commission will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people. 

New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.

White House Fraud Task Force Vice Chair: “We found that 400 businesses with contracts worth $6 billion, originally allocated by the Biden administration, didn't even file physical addresses at their businesses.”

.@VP convenes a meeting on the task force to eliminate fraud: "A lot of the anti-fraud protections that existed in our government for a very long time were actually turned off by the Biden administration... we're going to turn back on those anti-fraud protections so that all of these Cabinet officials are looking at what's going on and focusing on it."

Let’s set the record straight here, since this OPINION story circulating doesn’t get the facts right. CLAIM: DOGE fired NASA employees and eliminated positions. TRUTH: DOGE didn’t fire a single employee at NASA. A total of 23 positions were RIF’ed following an executive order in February eliminating DEI and other positions. All other departures from the agency last year were voluntary. CLAIM: The Trump Admin is “talking a big game” about beating China to the Moon. TRUTH: The Trump Administration created the Artemis Program. The Artemis Accords that over 60 nations have signed. President Trump created the Space Force. And, President Trump enacted the Space Policy that will finally, after 35 years, return Astronauts to the lunar environment and begin construction of a Moon Base. CLAIM: NASA can’t intelligently work with industry without a chief economist. TRUTH: Pretty much every OIG report at NASA on commercial programs being behind schedule, over budget or outright cancelled was written during a time of a Chief Economist. Industry responds to common sense decisions, just look at the recent Artemis architecture update and the widespread, unanimous support from all the contractors. Not to mention the fact that the one person has funded the majority of commercial spaceflight to orbit is the current @NASAAdmin. There are currently more than 6 commercial companies looking to NASA to build a single space-station-as-a-service. It would appear that NASA is not the entity that requires an economist. CLAIM: DOGE was on a firing spree. TRUTH: Again, DOGE did not fire a SINGLE employee, let alone thousands. CLAIM: NASA’s being run on vibes alone. TRUTH: NASA is making common sense decisions to focus resources on the most pressing objectives in line with President Trump’s National Space Policy. The only thing running on vibes alone is this piece.

"THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.  The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE..." - President Donald J. Trump
