On Wednesday (updated Thursday), The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article detailing how much government waste the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A new list from the White House assesses the Department of Government Efficiency\u2019s (DOGE\u2019s) financial impact so far at more than $3.4 billion, with substantial savings realized through cuts to the Department of Education.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest numbers, provided to The Epoch Times on Feb. 11, include $59 million that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) staff sent to house illegal immigrants in New York City hotels. The White House has sought to claw back that money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The list also includes a variety of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) contracts and grants, many in the Department of Education, as well as moves against DEI-related directives and policies deemed as out of step with the new administration\u2019s priorities. On the first day of his new presidency, President Donald Trump issued an executive order against DEI in the federal government.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article includes the following:<\/p>\n

That’s pretty good for a couple of weeks’ work.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

One lawsuit over DOGE employees\u2019 access to Treasury Department payment systems data resulted in a court order from Judge Paul Engelmayer on Feb. 8, temporarily preventing DOGE employees from looking at that data and requiring that they destroy any of it they may have obtained.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Feb. 11, in response to a Justice Department filing that challenged Engelmayer\u2019s order, Judge Jeanette Vargas maintained the DOGE employee prohibition while clarifying that the ban did not prevent Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent from accessing his own department\u2019s data.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vargas will preside over a hearing on the DOGE case on Feb. 14.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Oval Office on Feb. 11, Trump questioned Engelmayer\u2019s order.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHow could a judge want to hold us back from finding all of this fraud and finding all of this incompetence?\u201d he asked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is NOT a Constitutional crisis–this is the American voters making their voices heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
