@micyoung75 @kyledcheney Just asking cause I don’t know: how can a judge compel executive branch to spend money. No argument if contract breech, or illegality of not spending. No legal requirement to spend any of this. What law is this based on ? I could see Congress having an issue, but not judiciary.

@elonmusk @DOGE Isn’t that a violation of 8 US code 1324?

@emptywheel Numerically, you can’t balance the budget doing that. Cutting spending is the most critical step to balance. Easiest way to cut is eliminate waste and fraud. Your reminder is simply not true

@BrettMmurphy Except it didn’t, as DOGE is simply renamed 2014 USDS (Obama) that already had access to all govt IT systems. Essentially the govt’s IT / admin dept.

@ThatEcoGamer @currermell @GouletGeorges @RodKahx And your point is ? I said constitution and amendments are not outdated. The system is brilliant. What is outdated ?

@LuxFella Except we know SSNs are sold to illegal immigrants. I can go downtown San Jose and get one in an hour. Question becomes how does system enable that. Elon shared what he’s learning. Question is how, not if fraud.

@ryanckeefer @BuurvrouwBob @AutomationCode @nvsmd @StickEDee @LuxFella @jcarterwil Except we know SSNs are sold to illegal immigrants. I can go downtown San Jose and get one in an hour. Question becomes how does system enable that. Elon shared what he’s learning. Question is how, not if fraud.

@SKEPTICLBELIEVR @Pensandpages @MilaLovesJoe I am waiting, but I expect it to be true, as the same has pretty much been reported locally. Multiple illegals using same stolen SSN for work or benefits. More likely question is - how big a problem is it?

@escottupnorth @GPB_GA @acnewsitics @CowboyKelevra legal immigrant here - we're vetted. medical, vax status, etc. Even checked for TB. On the other hand, illegals: nothing. How do you think we have a resurgence of so many eliminated diseases ?

@camryn_ame57066 @currermell @GouletGeorges @RodKahx actually, as an immigrant I am astounded by the brilliance of the constitution. It is not outdated. Nor are the amendments. Your attitude a sad af. Anti-American in fact.

@Pensandpages @MilaLovesJoe 1x number; 1x payment. Multiple payments to the same number is a grotesque corruption of the system. Obviously fraud.

@guelphgirlchris Sorry. Just not true. But as an ex-pat canadian, who used to live in guelph, I'm not surprised at your mis-information. Elon is looking for fraud and waste. Not making policy decisions. Not running the government. Reporter is hallucinating.

@DealinRugs @bekerche I know for a fact, I can go downtown San Jose and get a SSN in an hour from ID theft. Local news has profiled that many times. People here illegally are obviously not worried about breaking the law. And they have been finding lots of illegals in california who voted this way.

@nationalbroker @acnewsitics @JDVance What do international examples have to do with US law ? In general, civilian court oversight seems very limited from these examples - as in; Vance was correct.

@M0RNINGWOODZ @OccupyDemocrats Biden admin had about 100 million egg laying chickens killed because of H1N1. Plus chickens lay fewer eggs in the winter. That’s why eggs are expensive. You know dramatically lower supply + same demand. But sure, claim Trump did it this week.

@TheRickWilson Yes, only $12M actually, provably went to her personally.

@TristanSnell What a childish take. In San Jose I can go downtown and get stolen/fake SSN in one hour. Newsflash; people here illegally break the law all the time.

@Tom__5150 @TaraBull808 No. Elon was part of the Trump package. We voted for that. Sure some people are unhappy, but most who voted for Trump voted for DOGE. The corruption and waste needs to stop. Extreme response possibly, but very necessary. Also, I own Tesla stock. I’m happy with my returns

@mattyglesias Well, it’s interesting that since USAID payments have paused, politico couldn’t meet payroll. Maybe not a normal business relationship. Why did they even need a subscription ?

@robert_heath @RealEJAntoni It was not ok, but Congress pushed it through
