The US government has long operated as a bloated, inefficient machine riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse on a staggering scale. Trillions in national debt pile up while billions vanish yearly through improper payments, duplicative programs, no-bid contracts, and outright corruption — from Defense Department DEI training boondoggles to USAID grants funneled into bribery schemes worth hundreds of millions. Taxpayers foot the bill for consultants studying larval fish, outsourced research on SNAP eating habits, and foreign aid programs with minimal oversight that often enrich insiders or achieve little measurable good. This isn’t abstract “inefficiency”; it’s systemic rot that erodes trust and diverts resources from actual priorities.
DOGE, led by Elon Musk, has been the most aggressive effort in decades to shine a light on this rot and slash it. By auditing contracts, terminating wasteful spending, and exposing fraud (including major bribery cases inside USAID), DOGE has already saved tens of billions and dismantled layers of pointless bureaucracy that previous administrations ignored or protected. The cuts to bloated foreign aid programs like USAID targeted documented waste and corruption, not humanitarian needs writ large.
Yet instead of engaging with those facts, politicians like Rep. Ro Khanna respond with raw political spite. In the wake of DOGE’s reforms, Khanna has resorted to grotesque hyperbole — claiming Musk must be subpoenaed and investigated for “sentencing 4.5 million kids to death” over USAID reductions — while ignoring the very waste and fraud DOGE uncovered. This isn’t serious policy debate; it’s a personal vendetta against Musk’s success and the uncomfortable truth that much of the federal apparatus was (and remains) indefensible. The American people deserve efficiency and accountability, not emotional theater from those invested in preserving the status quo.

BREAKING: Elon Musk calls for the arrest of Ro ‘the Robber’ Khanna.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced that a USAID official and several executives pleaded guilty in a bribery scheme involving more than $550 million in contracts.
Yet Ro Khanna is claiming Elon should be investigated over DOGE spending cuts.
The standard applied by DOGE was very simple: if taxpayer money is being sent as aid, there should be a way to verify who received it and make sure the money isn’t being stolen or misused.
The DOJ is uncovering corruption connected to USAID contracts, Ro Khanna is attacking the person who pushed for transparency.
Elon simply asked where taxpayer money was going and whether it was actually reaching the people it was meant to help.
Ro “the Robber” Khanna should be in prison.

These are false projections based on a deeply flawed methodology.
The Lancet paper found a correlation between USAID spending and lower mortality rates. It did not prove that USAID spending directly caused those outcomes.
The authors then assumed causation and reversed the… https://t.co/Kv3UKswGA9

It’s much more likely cutting USAID SAVED 4.5 million kids lives by no longer funding the dozens of USAID-funded civil wars that had been raging across Africa, Central Asia, LatAm and beyond. https://t.co/A5PWamMX55

Here’s what @DOGE found the USAID money was being spent on:
• $4.8 million to Ukraine’s public affairs office in Kyiv to fund social media influencers.
• $2.1 million to Paraguay to “enhance” their border security.
• Ukrainian women-led designers to fly to the Paris…— Katie Miller (@KatieMiller) June 23, 2026
