This is the big question right now. How much confidence should we have in these claims?
Hopefully, they'll produce some better documentation at some point.
My working hypothesis is that DOGE is going to claim much better victories than it actually achieves. (As with any government or pseudo-government agency; or any institution, really).
So we're going to see more of this.

I'm expecting a lot of the identified malfeasance to turn out to be sloppy record keeping errors, but we'll see.

Looks like someone got a little excited with the numbers, probably just a mistake!

Sure, but how many other mistakes are there?
The Social Security numbers, in particular, are pretty outlandish. I want to see more documentation on this stuff, but I understand that proper disclosures do take time.

Just kidding, but seriously, it’s hard to trust when things don't add up.
