David Fahrenthold @fahrenthold.bsky.social · 18/03/2025THREAD: DOGE's "Wall of Receipts" is one month old this week. But the largest item on that list has always been wrong. Here's how: 29848387
David Fahrenthold @fahrenthold.bsky.social · 18/03/2025When the Wall of Receipts was first posted, Elon Musk's group said its largest savings was an $8 billion cut at ICE. But that was a typo in government records. DOGE reduced the savings to $8 million, then zero. 8515136

David Fahrenthold @fahrenthold.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Then DOGE said its largest savings had come from terminating a USAID contract worth $655 million. But they had triple-counted the same cancellation, and also greatly over-estimated what that cancellation was worth. That savings, too, was eventually reduced to $0. 534688
