Here are some of the most insane statistics about the waste and inefficiency of the US government and why Elon and Vivek's new DOGE is such an incredible and crucial development for America: • The CBO revealed at least 1,264 federal programs and bureaus have expired authorizations, but they still received $516B in funding for FY2024 • The Government Accountability Office estimates the federal government wastes $247B in taxpayer money each year • The Department of the Treasury reported $24.5B in "unreconciled transactions" in the past meaning it spent ~$25B on unknown items • Department of Agriculture employees misused government issued credit cards spending millions on personal purchases like concert tickets, tattoos, lingerie and car payments • $33.2M was spent on transgender monkey research • The NIH spent part of a $2.7M grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill • The DoD ruined $170M of military equipment by leaving it outside • The US Agency for International Development spent $6M to promote tourism in Egypt • The SBA gave over $200M to music artists like Post Malone, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne through the Covid Paycheck Protection Program • The US military bought soap dispensers for aircraft at over 80 times the commercial price The importance of the Department of Government Efficiency cannot be overstated

When I am President, it will be a day one priority to bring down prices. I’ll take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging and corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families.

Prime Minister Netanyahu was scheduled to meet with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris today. Instead of attending the meeting with the head of a nation in the midst of an existential war, which the United States has supported as an ally, our nation’s current leaders chose to make a dangerous and reckless political move by refusing to meet. This political stunt aims to win over a voting bloc, but it lacks integrity and actually perpetuates instability. A real leader would meet with Netanyahu to negotiate peace in the region. Even if you disagree with the recent actions of Israel, your job is to offer alternatives to war and chart a path towards refocusing American resources on the American people. The sudden cold treatment towards Israel is disingenuous and signals incompetence. A good leader in this moment would make the following moves: ➡️ Acknowledge that Netanyahu doesn’t have the support of his own nation and suggest empowering the people of Israel with an election to appoint a leader they have faith in to resolve the current conflict. Many Israeli political advisors have suggested that this would signal, both internally and internationally, a redirection for the country and the war. ➡️Acknowledge that the United States’ military participation in the region has not led towards a sustaining peace. ➡️Work with nations that have a real chance of rebuilding Gaza and Palestine, striving for a convincing two-state solution. ➡️Recognize the desire of BRICS nations and especially the Gulf Nations to see peace in the region and empower this leadership, through solid foreign policy, to step forward to assist in stabilization and rebuilding. Last week, the UAE signaled a historic commitment to contributing to stabilization in Gaza. Let’s remember that the UAE built a world class city in a seaside desert and is uniquely situated to rebuild Gaza, more so than the United States. Remember also that, in the aftermath of October 7th, the UAE showed incredible leadership, even erecting a Hanukiah during Hanukkah last year as a symbol of peaceful coexistence. The Gulf nations of the Emirates and Saudi Arabia are both motivated and uniquely resourced to partner in building a sustainable, peaceful, and prosperous Palestine for the Palestinian people. Finally, remember that Saudi Arabia was engaged in normalization talks with Israel leading up to October 7th. Such a relationship is incredibly valuable for peace in the region without necessitating a military alliance. Culturally and economically, the UAE and Saudi Arabia could serve as a bridge for peace and prosperity for the Palestinian people. Their influence would be real and authentic, culturally aligned, and best positioned for long-term success and stability. For those sects calling for the destruction of Israel, the message must be clear: this is wrong. We understand your hurt, anger and frustration, and we take responsibility for our part in it, but war, death and destruction are not your calling. Your calling is independence from the influences of the Western World, healthy and respectful boundaries, engagement in international trade, and participation in the coming balance between the Western Nations and BRICS. This envisages world powers working together, balanced and creatively positioned to move the world forward into a future of innovation, abundance, opportunity, and peace.
