Summary

DOGE announced on Monday the cancellation of several government contracts, claiming total savings of $16 billion.

However, nearly half of this amount was attributed to an $8 billion contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that, upon review, was actually valued at $8 million.

Additionally, a larger reported savings figure of $55 billion lacked detailed documentation.

The ICE contract in question, with D&G Support Services, was intended to provide program and technical support for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights.

    DOGE is not meant to cut spending. It is to systemically root out opposition within the executive branch and promote the business interests of Trump, Musk, and their cadre.

    This is a distraction to keep you occupied while they do something far worse.

      And to be clear: they have access to the Treasury systems. That “something far worse” is a literal robbery - this is a classic smash and grab.
