If DOGE will document their claimed savings publicly, those claims can be tracked and challenged publicly. According to their claimed schedule, this will continue for the next 2 years. There can be case-by-case reviews by journalists, lawyers and courts.

You are the one who is claiming that they've saved $1.82 Billion dolars by posting some random website that thinks illegally destroying a federal agency is fiscally responsible.

I'm pointing out that their public claims require public documentation and can be publicly challenged.

I'm not a fan of DEI so this isn't in defense of that policy. But are you really comparing it to the KKK?

Seriously?

Yes — they’re illicitly routing federal tax money to fund organized racism and sexism.

The same political movement, Progressives, that have support institutional antisemitism for 130 years and which has a string of ruled-illegal or later banned policies:

- Jim Crow/segregation

- race and sex quotas

- race and sex preferences, first euphemized “affirmative action” and most recently DIE.

They recent elected their leadership based on sex quotas and are supporting a group called “The Race” assaulting police in LA, to prevent the law from being enforced against that ethnic group.

KKK.

Edit:

They assaulted multiple towns via their paramilitary wing, committing over $2B in arson attacks and 70 murders in 2020.

They are violent extremists along with perennial racists.

I'm a Jew (atheist). I don't think it's correct to compare well meaning idiots with people who literally kill people.

Just embrace it. If they’re making claims, it would actually be prudent to document those claims and ask them about their methodology. Ask them if they consider any costs from second-order effects as subtracting from the total. If not, why not?

Calculate the totals yourself. Report the data to as many as possible. If you think it will look as bad as I do, there’s every reason to.
