Yeah sooooo, about this. Once again Musk and his team have no idea what they're looking at when they find it. These fraudulent claims are there by design. It's actually part of the government's process of tackling fraud. @emmbadger.bsky.social explains ⬇️

This week DOGE discovered those make-believe people. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

His team found cases of seemingly fake people receiving unemployment benefits. But that fake data exists for a reason.

AOC is calling out colleagues for stock trades before tariffs were paused: “Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hrs should probably disclose that now … It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.” AOC is absolutely right.
