You know, cancer is rising for young people in Iowa and until I saw someone in politics or Big Ag really taking a serious look at that and commit to change, I would tell my children to leave Iowa.

4PM Today (Friday, Sept 26): Protest at the Neil Smith Federal Building in downtown Des Moines in support of Dr Ian Roberts. Dr Roberts was detained by ICE in Des Moines and, apparently, driven to an ICE facility in Council Bluffs.

In 2024, when crime was even worse, I dared to take my grandchildren to DC.

You are going to need to raise the problem of water quality in Iowa and create real solutions. Also, how about how corn ethanol solves no problems.

GAO reports to the Legislative Branch and is headed by the Comptroller General who has a term of 15 years. Our current Comptroller General was appointed in 2008.

Trump sends criminals to El Salvador because “they do it cheaper” but we can’t buy goods from other countries that “do it cheaper”.

Trump also mentions “criminals” that get a bad judge that is political. So, a judge or jury do not convict, but Trump can?

Years ago, right wingers like Tucker Carlson complained that immigrants did not assimilate. Fast forward to today- would you try to assimilate if you were an immigrant or would you keep to yourself? We get what we reap.

Because if I deleted the transaction, I am committing potential fraud. End

cherylclimate.bsky.social @cherylclimate.bsky.social · 09/02/2025
In no case would I have the ability to delete the transaction because I thought it was fraud. 5

cherylclimate.bsky.social @cherylclimate.bsky.social · 09/02/2025
Only after that would I think that I might have fraud. Fraud is a dangerous word to use right out of the gate. You are assuming ill intent when you haven’t gone through the steps to prove your case.

I would talk to senior management and have them help me understand the validity of the transactions. 3🧵

cherylclimate.bsky.social @cherylclimate.bsky.social · 09/02/2025
Then I would research those transactions to find validity in them. 2 🧵

cherylclimate.bsky.social @cherylclimate.bsky.social · 09/02/2025
If I were an auditor looking for fraud (40 years experience), I would do data analytics to find potentially questionable transactions. 1 🧵

@warren.senate.gov I saw you asked GAO for an audit of Treasury. I am afraid GAO needs to audit every department DOGE has touched to date. I appreciate your work.
