DOGE finds $4.7 trillion in Treasury payments on untraceable budget line — and no one knows where the money went

Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency discovered $4.7 trillion in United States Treasury payments on an untraceable budget line.

The agency announced Monday that the Treasury Access Symbol, which are used to describe the account the money is linked to, was missing on a number of payments the Treasury Department has made.

‘In the federal government, the TAS field was optional for about $4.7 trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,’ DOGE posted on X.

‘As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going.’

The account went on to thank the US Treasury for its help in identifying the optional field.

The Treasury Department, which fields trillions of dollars worth of government payments every year was one of the first departments DOGE staffers gained access to

DOGE zeroes out the National Endowment for Democracy

The DOGE team has now taken the step, reported earlier this week, of freezing government payments to the National Endowment for Democracy, a private organization that in 2023 received a $315 million appropriation from Congress, paid via the State Department. That is big news in Washington because the NED, a nongovernmental organization that depends on federal funds, has survived numerous attempts over the years to close it down and up to now has maintained a bipartisan consensus to keep it in business. The move to cut off the organization’s funding suggests that its bipartisan support has at last broken down.

The order from DOGE to freeze further disbursements to the NED has paralyzed the organization, according to news reports. “It’s been a bloodbath,” one NED staffer said. “We have not been able to meet payroll and pay basic overhead expenses.” It sounds as if what happened to USAID last week has now happened to the NED.

DOGE Descends On IRS As Musk Prepares To Audit Agency

A top staffer of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) arrived at IRS headquarters on Thursday ahead of a planned audit announced by President Donald Trump.

Elojn Musk aide Kavin Kliger visited the DC offices of the IRS to examine its systems, according to the Wall Street Journal, which noted that Kliger has been working at the Office of Personnel Management.

Later in the day, Trump announced that DOGE would audit the nation’s tax collection agency.

“The Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else,” Trump told reporters during a White House press briefing.

“They’re doing a hell of a job. It’s an amazing job they’re doing,” Trump said of Musk and DOGE. “I call it the force of super-geniuses, but it’s building, and you know they go up, and they talk to some of the people about certain deals, and they get all tongue-tied because these people get it. They’re very smart people. We need smart people.”

Trump was responding to a question about Kliger’s visit to the IRS and whether the administration wants to close the agency – to which Trump said he did not expect that to be the case.

The seven NGOs in the chart below represent the Uniparty: Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State

THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”

The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.

Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.”

Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself.

This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a “threat to democracy.” To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself.

Terrified staff left hysterical as ‘well drilled’ DOGE nerds storm hyper ‘woke’ Department of Education


Elon Musk‘s nerd army stormed into the Department of Education on Tuesday and saved over $900 million.

Musk’s DOGE lieutenants Akash Bobba and Ethan Shaotran, both 22, already have access to the department, NBC News reported.

And as many as 16 DOGE team members have entered the premises as the agency begins to be ripped apart.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury, (D-MD) described the terror agency staff are feeling after Musk’s team entered to ‘actively dismantle’ the institution. 

‘They are in the building, on the 6th floor, canceling grants and contracts,’ she said in an interview with HuffPost.

She added that she expects the agency to be ‘dissolved in the coming days.’

The Department of Education was targeted by Donald Trump during his campaign, He is keen to dismantle the so-called ‘Deep State’ constantly working against conservatives.  

Most Republicans believe the department employs some of the most activist liberal bureaucrats in the federal government.  

Trump plans to sign another executive order on Tuesday to order all agencies to work with DOGE, according to Semafor, including with the ‘workplace optimization initiative.’

I see many of these agencies as having violated their original mandates and usurped power far above what is good for the country or wanted by the people of this country. Power and graft went to their heads. For decades no one ever audited them or even questioned what they were doing. DOE is but one agency that went much too far. I look forward to seeing more DOGE audits and presidential shutdowns of what have become entities hostile to the well-being of Americans. ABN
