There have ben a lot of small victories from Trump and Musk in the past few weeks.

Somebody — likely many somebodies — are making payments, big payments, from the United States treasury with absolutely no justification.
There is no invoice noted for the payment. No authorizing legislation noted. No appropriation noted. Somebody just sent it out.
DOGE claims those payments will be nearly impossible to track. I’m not convinced that’s really the case. Even if there’s nothing in the notes, every electronic transaction (they’re mostly not writing paper checks anymore) goes someplace. And there’s a routing number for the bank and an account number for the recipient somewhere in the records. Somebody just needs to dig them out.
I think they should just start clawing those payments back and see who howls. Maybe that will give us some clarity on how $4,7 Trillion payments were fraudulently made — or at least made without any care taken.
I worked very hard for the money taken from me at the point of a gun by the federal government. I had always hoped that they worked as hard as I did to spend that money wisely. Seems not to be the case.
