Nearly $1 billion of DOGE ‘savings’ vanish overnight

According to the Department of Government Efficiency's website, it "saved" around $1 billion this past week through the cancellation of contracts, grants, and leases.

According to NOTUS, DOGE employees apparently adjusted the agency's stated savings overnight on Tuesday, deleting over $962 million, in the most recent instance of manipulating data on the internet.

Using the Wayback Machine, the biggest of this week's lost cutbacks seems to be a $1.1 billion deal with the Acacia Center for Justice.  

The organization offered legal assistance to children of unaccompanied immigrants who enter the United States. The deal is no longer mentioned, despite DOGE's initial claim that the termination would save $367 million.

Acacia Center for Justice told NOTUS that its services have not been restored despite a federal judge's order at the end of last month urging the Trump administration to do so.

The DOGE website has been modified multiple times to remove savings claims that were later determined to be false. In addition to dozens of contracts and leases

NOTUS discovered over 600 grants that had been taken off from DOGE's website in recent weeks. According to NOTUS, nearly all were removed on Tuesday of this week over a two-hour window from midnight to two in the morning.

Elon Musk, the de facto leader of DOGE, reduced the group's projected savings from $1 trillion to $150 billion by the end of the fiscal year, which led to the most recent round of adjusted savings.
