Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO): Where is this company headquartered?

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem: I don’t know.

Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out.

You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?

Whiskey Pete spent $93 billion in one month. One month! Crabs, lobster, pianos, steak. How do conservatives defend the everyday corruption and grift of this administration?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/pete-hegseth-blew-billions-fruit-215814027.html

Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of shellfish, including $2 million for Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail. (Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegseth’s Pentagon—the department spent more than $7.4 million total on the luxury item in March, May, June, and October.)

And MAGAs are claiming the food was for “our troops” who “deserve to eat good food” even though intelligent folks know it’s unlikely enlisted men and women had even a morsel of steak or lobster. Per usual MAGA finds ways to excuse theft fraud and corruption in their leaders even as they get no benefit and can barely afford day old hamburger meat.

MAGA rank and file vote against themselves every time.

Spending millions on no-bud contracts and to wrap ICE vehicles with gold wraps

Government contracting documents made public this week show the agency proposed paying four companies more than $2.4 million: $2.25 million for 25 Chevrolet Tahoes from Hendrick Motorsports in North Carolina and about $174,000 for custom wrapping of Tahoes, Ford Expeditions and other vehicles by three companies, including two in the Washington region. ICE selected the companies without an open bidding process and was required to submit the documents to justify the lack of a full and open competition.

Oh, NOW we’re worried about spending? But not when money was going to promoting drag shows in Bumfykistan?

Do orders of magnitude not matter to you? Hegseth spent 93 billion in one month...because if he hadn't that money would have gone back to the treasury. Seems like preventing unnecessary spending and returning money to the treasury is exactly the sort of thing DOGE is supposed to be dong.

Some of us are consistent and always were. And new the DOGE cuts were never about spending. They are just shifting all the government contracts to cronies and using the money for themselves and their friends to live large. And you are on here braying about drag shows, because you are just the stupid sucker who votes for these grifters. SDASU. You never cared about spending, you don't know, and you support corruption.

+1. DOGE was an absolute joke that cost the government more money than it saved. MAGA morons don't know the difference between real oversight and cons to get you to look the other direction.

21 pages of stories detailing the hundreds of billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse by this administration and all you got is "drag shows in Bumfykistan"? Go get you a pair of clown shoes like the rest of the conservative clowns.

Pentagon telling wall street they can get access to "fund-raising channels that include royal families and foreign sovereign contacts" if they come work for federal government.
