Summary

DOGE released an updated “wall of receipts” claiming $65 billion in savings, but its itemized total dropped from $16.6 billion to $9.6 billion.

Errors persist, including duplicate listings and inflated figures. Some contracts were counted multiple times, while others misreported savings.

Critics argue DOGE lacks documentation for most claimed cuts. The discrepancies raise transparency concerns as job losses mount from canceled contracts.

DOGE’s figures remain under scrutiny, with media and experts questioning its accounting practices.
