DOGE reveals 5 'most outrageous' ways taxes were wasted * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
A new report posted at Fox News, based on comments from DOGE employees during an interview with Jesse Watters, reveals the "most outrageous" ways those on the taxpayers' payroll wasted tax money.
President Donald Trump launched the Department of Government Efficiency when he took office, and officials there have reported cutting at least $160 billion in waste, fraud and abuse.
Chemtrail Claims
Learn the truth about this widely held (and false) conspiracy theory. Dr. Roy Spencer explains... - John Whitefisk 
Chemtrail Claims [excerpt from the article posted]
I have read that report (written by Air Force academy students), and indeed it was highly speculative.
The increase in air traffic has led to the popularization of chemtrail theories, which usually involve claims that damaging chemicals are being sprayed by aircraft...Regarding “chemtrails”, Grok 3 (accessed 4/25/25) says,
“Chemtrail conspiracy theories first gained traction in the mid-1990s, particularly around 1996… A key catalyst was a 1996 U.S. Air Force research paper titled Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025, which discussed speculative weather modification technologies. Though theoretical, the paper was misinterpreted by some as evidence of secret government programs.”
I have read that report (written by Air Force academy students), and indeed it was highly speculative.
It did not mention any existing cloud- or weather-modification technologies beyond the usual cloud-seeding efforts which date back to the 1950s....

DOGE efforts lead to collapse in rate of government workers who work from home: Report | Blaze Media:
New jobs numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey show that the rate of government workers who work from home has plummeted precipitously.
The work-from-home rate was one of the criticisms that President Donald Trump lobbed at federal workers once he took office, and it appears that the Department of Government Efficiency has taken a toll.
Department of Government Efficiency on X
"The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process). - Department of Government Efficiency@DOGE 
In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible.
- As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon reveals greedy truth behind student loan forgiveness
President Trump’s education boss Linda McMahon has defended the administration’s decision to resume student loan debt collections — insisting that greedy colleges have “profited massively” from Biden-era forgiveness measures. 
In a fiery Wall Street Journal op-ed addressing the move, the education secretary blamed the Biden administration and universities for making “empty promises to students while pocketing their loan dollars.”
- “Colleges and universities call themselves nonprofits, but for years they have profited massively off the federal subsidy of loans, hiking tuition and piling up multibillion-dollar endowments while students graduate six figures in the red,” McMahon wrote.
- “A widely cited 2015 study found that for every dollar of increased federal caps on subsidized loans, colleges raised tuition by 60 cents,” she continued.
- “Many of the degree-granting programs that qualify for student loans are worthless on the job market, but colleges continue to accept students to these programs and encourage them to borrow to pay for them...

...the mainstream media’s refusal to adopt a neutral stance on climate change has transformed a complex scientific debate into a monolithic narrative of impending catastrophe. - Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming - John Whitefisk 
Far from being impartial arbiters, media outlets are enthusiastic propagandists recycling doomsday predictions that consistently fail to materialize while ignoring a wealth of scientific research that challenges the narrative of disastrous warming.
This isn’t journalism; it is activism disguised as truth-telling.
This isn’t journalism; it is activism disguised as truth-telling.
The result?
A global populace misled, policymakers swayed by fiction, and developing nations shackled by energy policies that prioritize “green” ideology over human well-being.

Fourth round of US-Iran talks in Rome were never confirmed, State Department says | Fox News:
The U.S. has not committed to participating in a fourth round of denuclearization talks with Iran this weekend despite reports to the contrary, according to the State Department.
"The United States was never confirmed to be participating in a fourth round of talks with Iran, which people had believed were Saturday in Rome," spokesperson Tammy Bruce said at a news conference Thursday. "We expect another round of talks will take place in the near future."
The U.S. participated in talks with Iranian officials once in Rome and twice in Oman. Envoy Steve Witkoff is the lead negotiator for President Donald Trump’s desired deal that stops Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
