It's being reported in multiple places now.

This is well written and exactly how I feel too. The bolded is 100% spot on.

https://popular.info/p/the-nsas-big-delete "Although the websites and other content are purportedly being deleted to comply with President Trump's executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion, or "DEI," the dragnet is taking down "mission-related" work." "According to the NSA source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media, the process is "very chaotic," but is plowing ahead anyway. A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted." There's 27 banned words including bias, inclusion, privilege, and equality.

See where you wrote "claims to have found" that's why. He claims he found it. No one has seen it and they won't. They'll get vague data like the USAID info or the FEMA info. No context, just "we wasted x on y, had to go"

The Sabres organization is incapable of recognizing an error and changing. Cozens is a favored son, he can do no wrong.

https://www.wsj.com/finance/regulation/russell-vought-taking-over-as-new-acting-head-of-cfpb-9650d338 CFPB has a budget of roughly 600million. It had returned about 6billion in funds to consumers caught up in scams and other schemes during Biden's 4 years. The agency was investigating Elon Mush who is working on making a payment system in Twitter. Musk now has insider access to competitor information and confidential documents which will give him a leg up on his competition and also end oversight.

Timeline: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/doge-backed-halt-at-cfpb-comes-amid-musks-plans-for-x-digital-wallet The team’s initial entry to CFPB Thursday had been accompanied by an “Assignment Agreement,” or a memorandum of understanding between the efficiency initiative and the consumer agency, a copy of which was seen by Bloomberg News. It explained that authority for the CFPB operation emanated from a Jan. 20 executive order. It also said that the scope of the DOGE team’s efforts would include, “work on software modernization initiatives,” the promotion of “inter-operability between agency networks and systems” and the use of software engineering to “champion the use of modern technology development and management approaches.” On Friday, four DOGE staffers—Gavin Kliger, Luke Farritor, Nikhil Rajpal and Jordan Wick — were described as needing to be onboarded and provided with complete building access in an email sent to a half-dozen CFPB officials by Chris Chilbert, the agency’s chief information officer. Chilbert asked employees to give the DOGE team the benefit of the doubt. “I know there’s a lot going on in the press and on social right now,” Chilbert wrote. “It’s hard to separate fact from fiction. Please reach out to me anytime you have questions or concerns. I’m very proud of the work we’ve done to build a strong technology foundation and I think we have a lot of good things we can show” DOGE. By Friday evening, according to an email sent by Chilbert that was seen by Bloomberg News, Vought had instructed CFPB to give DOGE administrative access – a much broader form of permissioning. A few hours later, CFPB’s X account was deleted, and the home page of the agency’s website was partially dismantled. CFPB employees who read the memorandum of understanding started backchannel discussions about it... They asked why DOGE would need to access the human resources, finance and procurement data if its goal was to modernize the agency’s software, the people said. By Saturday afternoon, according to five people familiar with the matter, the DOGE team’s administrative access had expanded, giving users the ability to choose which of the agency’s internal systems they can explore. That night, Vought began to lay the groundwork for overhauling and at least temporarily shutting down the CFPB. He sent an email to all the agency’s employees under the subject line, “Directives on Bureau Activities,” which prohibited them from issuing any public communications, continuing pending investigations or launching new probes. It also ended all supervision and examinations. On Sunday afternoon, Martinez, the chief operating officer, sent an email to CFPB staff informing them that the agency’s headquarters will be closed this week and they should work remotely. Employees who were in the office were ordered to vacate the building by the agency’s director of security.

Because the goal is destroying the agencies and stealing the information on the way out. EM is getting lots of information which will help his businesses get a competitive advantage. They brought in programmers because it isn't about government waste, it is about government "spending my tax dollars on things I don't want" which has become a common refrain from the far right to justify attacking anything they dislike. I bet the programmers are coming in, and running scripts on these internal datasets looking for coded entries. It is why they can turn around so fast and say "LOOK! We wasted X amount on this thing in the last 10 years!" because they found X payments that fit their search algorithm and if they don't like, if it doesn't fit their ideology, it is bad. The joke is "orange man bad" but in reality we are seeing "whatever orange man dislikes is bad". It will get far worse. We are maybe a couple months at most away from the judiciary being ignored. Everything trump says is true, anything against him we should have no respect for, at least that's what the current climate is. We're in the endgame now.

Musk wants the CFPB shutdown because of his plans with X Wallet. It is all a grift. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/doge-backed-halt-at-cfpb-comes-amid-musks-plans-for-x-digital-wallet

Glory glory to Ole Georgia... and to hell with Georgia Tech In all seriousness though, one thing the Bills defense has not had in years, is that dawg mentality and I don't mean Georgi, I mean that I am going to get after you or die trying. Oliver sometimes does but the defense just lacks that snarl. I hope they draft some guys that are really aggressive and physical. They need line help, linebacker help, and safety/corner help. Buffalo didn't reach the superbowl because the defense was awful.

Defense wins championships

This feels so cathartic.

If DOGE and Musk were really looking for fraud, wouldn't they have hired forensic accountants instead of programmers?

There's no point though, countering the *****. In about 4-6 months things will start to get bad. It will take that long for the lag and the stacking of problems. I'm done with this here, it will get worse long before it's gonna get any better.

They can't give proof unless it's manufacturing outrage based on 1 tiny thing. Like Hank posting the USAID thing above that we're clearly suppose to blame them because 15yrs before a dude became a terrorist they helped get him into college. I wish a group of adults would audit the government and make recommendations to eliminate waste but the goal isn't to eliminate waste, it's too privatize everything.
