Just how much has DOGE exaggerated its numbers? Now we have receipts

  So we should finally start seeing legal repercussions for all involved, and a great undoing of everything they’ve done?

  Unsurprising. Saving money/deficit reduction was never the primary goal.

  IMO, DOGE's main goal and legacy was/is to grab government agency code and plant trojans.

  When the time is "right", seize it all. We are just about there.

  We have secret police, concentration camps, and now, federal occupation of a city.

  Does anyone see a pattern?

  I built a simple tool to download all their data a few month ago (https://dogedownloadtool.pages.dev/). It uses their API and creates a CSV file for the user. It's interesting to do some data analysis with it.

  But the damage and destruction of valuable Federal services: priceless.
