DOGE scrubs some of its claimed savings from website: Report

The only public accounting of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Deficiency, or DOGE

website, is constantly changing. Now, the All-Britain Journalism Institute-founded site, Notice, is reporting that it is marred by errors and revisions, which include overstating the

amount of spending cuts that have actually taken place. The report says on Tuesday

DOGE removed $962 million in previously stated cuts and changed other listings to seemingly

boost reported savings. The report indicated Doge did not update its website from the end of March

to the beginning of this week. The report also states Doge then added many new cancellations

while removing hundreds of others early this week. It says the biggest single example of savings

unlisted was a $1.1 billion contract with the Akasha Center for Justice, which funds legal

services for immigrant children who entered the United States unaccompanied. Doge initially said

the termination saved $337 million. But now the contract is not listed at all

A judge recently put a restraining order on the Trump administration cutting of that funding The notice investigation has determined the changes and errors to the website overstate the amount of money it claims to be saving taxpayers In fact during a cabinet

meeting last week, Musk lowered the expectation for reducing government spending for this year

from $1 trillion to $150 billion. Meantime, NPR is reporting a relief team that works for the

Center for Disease Control and Prevention had their jobs cut just as they were about to go

door-to-door in hurricane-battered Asheville, North Carolina. A member of the 55-member team

told NPR they were prepared to do questionnaires about unsafe drinking water, toxic chemical

exposure, and difficulties finding needed food. The group was to report their findings to local

officials so they could help solve the most difficult problems. The worker says they received

an email while they were just about to start their work, telling them they were being placed

on paid leave and their mission was over. The report indicates the CDC cuts were part of roughly

10,000 at federal agencies, as directed by Doge. For more unbiased updates, download the Straight
