Now is our time to shine!

DOGE put out the call for DMs from the general public to point to waste and fraud, as well as provide ideas and feedback.

DOGE is looking for help from the general public!

Please DM insight for reducing waste, fraud, and abuse, along with any helpful insights or awesome ideas, to the relevant DOGE affiliates (found on the Affiliates tab). For example, @DOGE_USDA, @DOGE_SSA, etc.
We will add…

This writer has already sent along a suggestion.

Perhaps Gavin Newsom’s homeless industrial complex https://t.co/LHoAjZXXxE

Especially the federal funding for this.

Please do a search for Federal funds flowing to all of these pollsters including us. We didn’t get any but we’d like to see who did. Reuters we now know got millions.https://t.co/l4yewJfZC1

We'd love to see a list of who got funding and what their polling has shown over the years.

I just DMed this to you. The Federal government wants to spend $1 Billion to kill one type of owl in order to save another. Completely insane. https://t.co/QXbhhGCX4b

Seriously?

Disallow stock trading by the members of the Senate and House and their relatives.

THIS. Oh, we'd love to see this.

Can you run a quick search on my X account? For the past 2+ years I've posted where they've been ripping us off.

There's a treasure trove of info on that account.

We love the fact that there is almost a 100% guaranteed chance of some kid messaging DOGE and saying that their siblings steal all of the computer time or food and that they should be investigated. 😂

They absolutely need to post the unhinged and funny replies they get.
