Girls hitting puberty 6 years early seems a bit off. I mean 13 is normal, so are they hitting it at 7? I have not heard this, so educate me.

RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

@scottmelker Just US Marshals not a gov-wide report. BTC could have been transferred to the Dept of Treasury.

🇺🇸 DOGE CREDIT CARD AUDIT CUTS 610K, TARGETING 55 AGENCIES
After 14 weeks of auditing federal credit cards, 55 agencies have seen 610,000 cards deactivated.
The audit started with 4.6 million active cards/accounts, showing the scale of this financial cleanup.
Agencies hit include major players like DHS, HHS, Treasury, and USDA.
While progress is strong, more work is ahead as the audit digs deeper.
The cards might be small, but they add up to big numbers and a big push for accountability.

🇺🇸 ELON’S DOGE: CUTTING WASTE, SHAKING UP POLITICS, EXPOSING WHO’S REALLY FOR THE PEOPLE Elon’s mission at DOGE has always been to slash waste and cut bloated bureaucracy. His goal? A leaner, faster, smarter government program that actually works for the people. By cutting funding streams and weeding out old programs, Elon did more than save money. He took on the political games and backroom deals that have weighed the government down for years. When you close off those federal cash pipelines, you’re not just rebalancing the budget, you’re standing up to entrenched interests that have gotten too comfortable for too long. That’s why Chuck Schumer and his allies are fuming. This isn’t just a squabble over numbers. It’s a fight about what true efficiency looks like and who decides how the government should run. Real reform means real resistance. And today, that push just exposed who’s really looking out for the public... and who’s just milking the system. Sources: Fox News, AP, Reuters

Agencies often have more software licenses than employees, and the licenses are often idle (i.e. paid for, but not installed on any computer). These audits have been continuously run since first posted in February. Most recently:
-IRS had 3000 Visio licenses, using only 25. The remaining 99% were cut.
-DOL cut 68% of unused “project planning” software licenses.
-SEC was only using 22% of their remote desktop software; the 78% was cut.
These 3 changes alone, a small portion of the total, saved > $5M/year.

Agencies often have more software licenses than employees, and the licenses are often idle (i.e. paid for, but not installed on any computer). For example, at GSA, with 13,000 employees, there are: - 37,000 WinZip licenses - 19,000 training software subscriptions (and multiple parallel training software platforms) -7,500 project management software seats for a division with 5,500 employees - 3 different ticketing systems running in parallel Fixes are actively in work.

@chris_devnull @DOGE No because airline tickets are issued through the travel authorization process. A federal employee could enter their personal credit card into the travel system and bypass the travel card.

Weekly Credit Card Update!
Pilot program has been expanded to 16 agencies to audit unused/unneeded credit cards. After 2 weeks, ~146,000 cards have been de-activated.
As a reminder, at the start of the audit, there were ~4.6M active cards/accounts, so still more work to do.

Credit Card Update! Pilot program across 14 civilian agencies to audit unused/unneeded “P-cards” (~700K accounts with ~$30B of spend in FY24). After 8 days, ~24,000 cards have been de-activated, which will likely double by end of week. Credit cards were also addressed in the President’s 2/26/2025 Executive Order: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a… Will report back again next week.

Note that the DOGE website pulls from FPDS. If there is an error in FPDS, there can temporarily be a display error on the DOGE website until FPDS and the website link are updated. This appears to be rare, but we will strive to point it out when it occurs.
English
This is inaccurate.
In September 2022, the agency contracting officer mistakenly wrote $8B instead of $8M when logging in the FPDS database. DOGE discovered this error in January 2025, and the agency updated FPDS accordingly. DOGE has always used the correct $8M in its calculations.

DOGE claimed $8 billion in savings from a cancelled contract on their new "wall of receipts." It was actually $8 million. Around the time we published the story, DOGE removed a screenshot that showed the mismatch, but continued to claim 8 bil. in savings. nytimes.com/2025/02/18/ups…

The US government currently has ~4.6M active credit cards/accounts, which processed ~90M unique transactions for ~$40B of spend in FY24.
DOGE is working w/ the agencies to simplify the program and reduce admin costs - we will report back in 1 week.

Today, the Department of Education terminated three DEI training grants totaling $15M.
One of the institutions had previously hosted faculty workshops entitled “Decolonizing the Curriculum”.

Amazing job by @NIH team.
Saved > $4B annually in excessive grant administrative costs.
NIH@NIH
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
