Summary
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt struggled to justify claims of government fraud during a press briefing, despite weeks of investigations by Elon Musk’s DOGE.
Instead of proving fraud, Leavitt pointed to contracts that simply conflicted with Trump’s policies. When pressed by reporters, she claimed wasteful spending was fraudulent without offering evidence.
Meanwhile, Musk’s team has accessed sensitive data from multiple federal agencies, raising concerns about privacy and oversight.
So it’s fraud to pay NY the legally contracted $80M to house migrants in 2025, but it’s not fraud to electronically claw-back the payment six weeks into the year, without congressional approval?
That will be all Press Secretary Barbie.
This is extremely offensive. Barbie wouldn’t do this. She is not Barbie.
I always saw Barbie as just an empty vessel for the thoughts and words of her handler. I guess she technically does have her own personality after all the movies.
I see what you did there…
To be fair, I was totally being facetious haha
Oh I figured, but you never know how the next person will read a thread. It can’t hurt to see both sides on something as trivial as name-calling. Press Secretary Barbie is not a hill to die on. Lol
I’d welcome an actual Barbie as press secretary after this fucking clown show.
