🔥 THREAD: DOGE Just Nixed 312 More Wasteful Contracts 🇺🇸💸
Half a billion saved in one week.
Hundreds of useless contracts gone.
Elon Musk started it. But even though he's gone back to Tesla and SpaceX, it's still going strong.
Here’s what just happened 🧵👇

2/ The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) just canceled 312 federal contracts this week.
🚫 Total contract value: $2.8 BILLION
✅ Estimated savings: $470 MILLION
In a WEEK.
It adds up.

3/ A few of the offenders?
📉 $286,000 DoD contract for a “Harvard entrepreneurship course” - because the richest university in America can't offer its own?
📉 $485,000 USAID contract for a “senior development advisor at USAID Madagascar”
Madagascar?
Yes. Half a million.

4/ DOGE — the anti-bloat watchdog Trump and Musk created — is still ripping out waste by the roots under OMB Director @russvought. It must!
“America is in the fast lane to debt slavery.”
— Elon Musk, June 2025
And he’s right. Our national debt?
🚨 $36.2 TRILLION 🚨

@russvought 5/ Trump’s second term is treating the federal bureaucracy like a failed startup:
💥 Cut dead weight
💥 Audit everything
💥 Fire non-performers
💥 Kill useless contracts
💥 Deliver results
It’s long overdue.

@russvought 6/ Let’s be clear: $470 million in one week is not small and not a fluke.
Since January, DOGE has:
✅ Saved billions in taxpayer money
✅ Exposed fraudulent “nonprofit” contractors
✅ Ended sweetheart deals buried in D.C. fine print
✅ Put the entire bureaucracy on notice

@russvought 7/ Democrats scream about “cuts.” But this isn’t about cuts to services.
This is about cutting the grift. Democrat grift.

@russvought 8/ These are early days. DOGE isn’t just a cleanup crew.
It’s a battering ram against the swamp.
And with a growing army of patriots in every agency the waste, fraud, and abuse days are numbered.
Half a billion down, a trillion or two to go!
