We haven't heard too much about DOGE recently, aside from liberals keying swastikas into Teslas and firebombing lots filled with Cybertrucks. There have been too many other sky-is-falling distractions, such as the "Maryland man" deported to El Salvador and the arrest of the judge who sneaked an illegal immigrant out the back door to foil his arrest.

The DOGE X account on Tuesday announced that the Department of the Treasury went live with its first automated payment verification system, and found $334 million in improper payment requests.

… with no authorization (i.e. the budget had already been fully spent)

DOGE was replying to its own post from February, where it revealed that the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS), an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item, was often left blank to the tune of some $4.7 trillion in payments. The new automated payment verification system caught $334 million in improper payment requests in just a week.

Congratulations to Elon Musk and his ghouls in DOGE for implementing an automated payment verification system so quickly. Money is going to dry up for a lot of politicians very soon.
