This is the reason I think @murray.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov should ask GAO to investigate the fraudulent claims on DOGE's receipts page. Because it's serving as cover that DOGE is not seeking waste fraud and abuse but instead canceling programs Congress duly appropriated.

It is clear that cutting costs, waste & fraud are not real targets for DOGE — everything cut so far = miniscule % of total US Government spending. DOGE is this administration's goon squad threatening American democracy, US democratic institutions & our allies -- and so, the world.
