Elon Musk stepping down from DOGE in May. Here's what he said
🔹"I think we will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by $1 trillion within that time frame,” Musk said.
🔹“I think we will accomplish most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars within (130 days),” Musk said. “Our goal is to reduce the waste and fraud by $4 billion a day, every day, seven days a week. And so far, we are succeeding.

The cash flow to Illegal Alien shelters seems to have been turned off . . . $$Taxpayer Money Saved $$
P.S. Should those unused funds should be clawed back? Yes? No?
🚨#BREAKING: A migrant facility that received $7,000,000 from FEMA says it has NO IDEA what to do with all the money because...
...they haven't had a SINGLE illegal immigrant enter their facility for DAYS:
"Our numbers are basically almost to zero..."

What’s Behind the Story of Department of Defense Audit Failures?
📷
In 2024, the Department of Defense failed its seventh consecutive audit. That audit is done by the DOD’s Office of Inspector General and an independent accounting firm that examines the department’s $4.1 trillion in assets and $4.3 liabilities.
CONGRESSIONAL AUDIT MANDATE
Congress has mandated that the DOD achieve an unmodified audit by fiscal year 2028. This was affirmed by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in a recent statement about the goal to achieve a department-wide clean audit in four years.
Though the Department has made improvements every year, the question is - can the Department accelerate the pace of improvement enough to meet that goal?
FISCAL YEAR 2024 AUDIT PLUS and MINUS
In fiscal year 2024, the overall DOD audit involved 28 different reporting entities that underwent their own stand-alone financial audits. If – as expected – 11 audits come back clean that will represent one more than in 2023. Secy Defense Hegseth has made several public statements congratulating the Marine Corps for its successful audit this year.
1500 CHECKBOOKS
A challenge is reconciling the 1500 “checkbooks” maintained by the department. Those accounts hold $850 billion in cash. The need is to reconcile the DOD accounts with what the Treasury Department believes is in those accounts. Eight DOD entities did successfully balanced their checkbooks in this audit meaning they were able to account for their dollars.
The remaining entities though received failing audit grades as auditors were not able to determine if the financial statements were accurate.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
The GAO (Gov’t Accounting Office) has assessed DOD financial management systems as posing a high risk of fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement.
A critical part of improvement is the implementation of a department wide financial management systems modernization. Modernization was also recently mentioned by Secy Hegseth as a critical department goal.
The cost of the 2024 DOD audit was approximately $178 million.

"USAID needs to be abolished."

ICYMI - Roleigh Martin’s bold fix for our $36T debt crisis: bonus Congress if they meet debt reduction goals and taxpayers also get a bonus check based on the reduction. WIN-WIN-WIN (see article below)
NEED BOLD SOLUTION - Continued kicking the can down the road is no longer feasible. We cannot pretend it won't take this country down. Elon warns daily our debt’s a ticking bomb.
Grok 3 crunched the numbers: 55-65% chance Congress passes this if we push. Hard to argue with that chance.
IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE - Congress has done it 76 times - reduced the debt that is.
CONFESSION: I freaked out - reward Congress for this $36T mess? But if it ignites action and pays Americans, why not?
THE THING IS - we're only guaranteed 2 years - right now - of a Trump Congressional majority.
We need to start here - just you, me and the mandate of MAGA. We need to pass this idea around - quickly - we need to push it to the surface before we drown. Give it air, give it lift.
Sometimes magic comes from an idea's trial balloon.
Rumor has it: a White House insider’s eyeing this. Could MAGA make it unstoppable?
What would happen if we each tagged everyone we could think of? Could this idea take on an undeniable destiny?
This is where we are - caught in a Congressional log jam. Just sitting on the debt because no one will take the bold action needed to break it up.
You know what to do . . .
Using the Grok 3 DeepSearch, we find a political strategy that enables 60+ votes to be obtained in the Senate for DOGE-bold legislation!
nitter.app/RoleighMartin/status/1…
According to thehill, the House “H.Con.Res.14” passing by just 1 vote on 2/25/2025, is unable to reflect DOGE cuts in the next budget because they’re unable to get 60 votes in the Senate if they did include DOGE cuts. Grok 3’s new DeepSearch agrees that both taxpayers and legislators need to have “skin in the game”.
Give taxpayers the James Fishbank proposed DOGE Dividend and give legislators a debt reduction bonus, similar to what turn-around CEOs get if they erase the debt for a failing business.
Doing both, Grok asserts, gives the odds for bold DOGE legislation passing with a 55-65% success projection!
At the very end, Grok finds a combining the above with a third option raises the odds to 65%-75% for 60+ votes in the Senate for DOGE-bold legislation!
The article is summarized at the top for those in a hurry. It also gives you the best video tour of the gigantic server farm where Grok 3 and its DeepSearch lives.
Elon Musk's xAI has built "Colossus," a behemoth supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee, dedicated to training its "Grok" AI models. This isn't just any data center – it's packed with 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, making it one of the world's most powerful AI supercomputers! It took me a couple of hours to find this video!
Did you know that throughout the 1800s when a debt reduction happened by Congress (it did 59 times), the average percent that the prior year's debt was reduced was 12.21%. Throughout the 1900s when a debt reduction happened by Congress (it did 17 times), the average percent that the prior year's debt was reduced was 3.53%.
If Congress reduced the debt per the 20th century reduction average of 3.53%, that would reduce spending for Fiscal Year 2025 of 1.253 Trillion USD but to get to that amount, the government's projected deficit of 1.9 Trillion USD has to be erased first.
So for Congress to have an average debt reduction for Fiscal Year 2024, they'd have to reduce spending by 3.153 Trillion USD, which adds to two above figures together.
Using the DOGE Dividend formula proposed by James Fishbank @j_fishback which President Trump speaks favorably about and which might be coming to taxpaying households, this would give the 79 million taxpaying households a DOGE dividend of $7984 apiece instead of $5000.

- Dems moved to subpoena Elon Musk to testify about his activities
- things get a little wild - worth the watch
- the motion is voted down (meaning he will not be subpoenaed)

Two seriously disturbing matters:
🔹USAID must be stopped.
🔹Supreme Court ruling to compel President Trump to continue funding foreign aid. Maybe take the Elon solution - fund the questionable foreign aid initiatives at $1.00 USD.
The solution to this problem is obvious: Congress must quit sending the damn money to USAID!
Republicans now control the House and Senate, yet here we are facing a vote on a continuing resolution next week that would fund everything in 2025 as it was funded in 2024.

Everyone wants to know what happened to the $42 BILLION awarded under Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program.
Looks like the program started in 2021 and seems regulations and the program application process consumed all that time until the FULL $42bil was allocated out to states in DEC24 (right under the transition wire).
A perfect example of how government CANNOT manage a huge budget/undertaking.
Not sure what the solution to this ever-repeating solution of throwing money at a problem is . . . but change MUST happen.

- is this the beginning of the end for the agency or Trump's move to push it in a new direction?
Many critics argue the agency was established by Elizabeth Warren outside of Congressional oversight by funding it through the Federal Reserve. And see it as a vehicle for Warren's anti-business positions.
Champions argue it is a strong consumer rights agency.

Examples of Spending Boondoggles
Coffee Mugs:
The Air Force spent $1,280 per paper coffee cup. This was reported around January 2025, highlighting the absurdity of spending on basic supplies.
Coffee Makers:
Historically, the Pentagon has been known for overpaying for coffee makers. While specific recent examples are less publicized, past instances include spending $7,600 on a coffee maker, indicating a pattern of overpricing that likely continues.
Soap Dispensers:
In October 2024, an audit revealed that the Air Force was overcharged by nearly 8,000% for soap dispensers for aircraft, leading to a total overpayment of around $149,072.
Beef Jerky Development:
The Pentagon spent $1.5 million to develop its own brand of beef jerky, as noted by Senator Tom Coburn in a report on government waste.
Coffee Break App:
Another piece of waste highlighted was the development of a computer app that alerts when it's time for a coffee break, costing taxpayers money without clear military utility.
Miscellaneous Small Items:
Posts on social media platforms like X have occasionally highlighted smaller purchases like $36,000 on car foot-rests, $100,000 on ice cream and donuts, and exorbitantly priced items like $1,200 coffee cups or $7,000 toilet seats, illustrating a broader issue of overpayment for basic goods.
These are just cases of small item fraud. Major military undertakings of shipbuilding and fighter aircraft, for example, have been plagues with cost overruns.

🚨 End Judicial Overreach - - New Bill Uploaded to the Legislation Tracker at DOGEcount.com - Learn about the Bill and Who To Contact
🔹HR97 - Injunctive Authority Clarification Act of 2025 - Bill Sponsor - Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ)
🔹*** Need to Push Speaker Johnson to bring this to the House Floor IMMEDIATELY ***
Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to limit jurisdiction of federal courts.
My Injunctive Authority Clarification Act does exactly that.
Woke activist judges must be not allowed to make sweeping legislative decisions for all Americans.

- with shelters and relief agencies upset about funding cuts for Illegal Aliens, it's interesting that I have seen none (zero) state they will change their mission to helping Americans in need - homeless, drug abuse, etc.

Hard to understand how AOC was paying a Congressional aide $80,000/year - yet he was an Illegal Alien. He has now self-deported.
🔹If he was paying taxes, what SS# was he using?
🔹Lots of questions for AOC . . .
🚨Alina Habba Demands INVESTIGATION into AOC for hiring a Criminal Alien as a top Congressional staff:
“To get on a federal payroll you have to be vetted and investigated. Did AOC break the law? How can this person work in Washington? I expect action and will hold them to it."

Remember when America was told that FEMA money was not (I repeat NOT) going to illegal aliens?
How does North Carolina feel about that now?
