DOGE Disclosure of evidenceVote News of the Day
DOGE and the current administration have made claims about large sums of money saved for Americans with zero factual corroborated evidence.  These claims mention deceased citizens drawing social security, government contracts never being cancelled and no performance, yet still paid, etc....  Where is the real evidence?
