Trump and Musk can’t seem to locate much evidence of fraud. They keep justifying their bold moves as combating fraud, but they have been unable so far to point to much of anything specific that’s actually fraudulent, via The Post's Aaron Blake www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... - ThreadSky

At this point they’ve identified zero “fraud”.

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…”

Oh shit, they have two Stephen Millers now!?

They learned with the "Election Fraud" you don't actually need to show proof, you just need to repeat it over and over and half the country will believe.

But a total lack of any evidence is simply further evidence of the grand and vast conspiracy!/s

It was never about finding fraud. They plan to get rid of part of the federal work force, replace them with Trump loyalists, and try to convince Americans this is "efficient and cost-saving." It's up to us to combat these lies.

Propaganda works with MAGA.

If I make a statement intended to be accepted as the truth, and I have no evidence suggesting it might be true, then I'd be called a liar - and rightly so.

Why is the WaPo not doing that with the lies of Musk and Trump?

It’s all yellow journalism now.

Fuck Nelly Bly…😡🤬😡

It was never about detecting fraud.
It was always about control.

It's a coup.

If you're actually looking for fraud, you hire forensic accountants, not hackers. https://bsky.app/profile/sfcpoll.bsky.social/post/3li2tayjquk2x

Exactly.

The Consumer Financial Services Bureau found fraud, $2 billion worth. TrumpMusk gutted that bureau. The IRS found fraud. TrumpMusk want to shut that down. The FBI and CIA find crimes. TrumpMusk gutted those agencies. They don't want to find fraud. They are spies. They are thieves. They are frauds.

“Much” or “any”?

aferaldavid.bsky.social•121 days ago

this is the thing. They will talk about all the fraud they stopped for the next 4 years and they will not make a single arrest because even with the control that they have they will not win that court case. They will never name names they will just say "look what the department did".

You know WHY? Because despite the propaganda, the federal civil service is very good & take a lot of pride at what they do, and fraud is not tolerated. You want to find so fraud look at the state govts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas etc.

The MAGA & DOGE coup.

STAND UP!
WE'RE HERE FOR THE RUMBLE.
It's a time for fierce compassion. Be fierce, do an activity everyday. It's self care. Be the rain, the howling wind, and the mountainous wave. Be the storm. Be the broken record. Pass it on.

“Looking for fraud” = “buying playboy for the articles”.

realindependent.bsky.social•121 days ago

They’ll just keep saying there is fraud no matter what.

msolomonchik.bsky.social•121 days ago

The hot takes by the mainstream media. Owned. Is why we are here.
