Segment Topic:
- Elon Musk’s DOGE Team Uncovers Over 25 Million People Ages 100+ in Social Security Database, Some Older Than the Constitution. Could this be the reason that Social Security will be bankrupt by 2035?
- Stephen Miller Exposes Foreign Fraud Rings: Foreign Nationals Use Fake SSNs to Steal Billions in Taxpayer Benefits Through IRS — Full Scope Unknown Until DOGE Accesses Records!
- Stephen Miller is correct: That foreign fraud rings, made up of foreign nationals are using fake SSNs to steal billions in taxpayer benefits through the IRS, it means that the IRS is being used as a money launderer. No wonder that IRS is still using a 1960’s computer system. Modern technology would have spotted this fraud.
- Millions of illegals living and working in OUR country are using fake Social Security numbers to get paid. These illegals have been depositing social security withholding on fake accounts for much longer than Michelle King’s term of government employment.
- How many of those holding false social security numbers have voted in Federal and state elections? I am sure some of them have.
- The depositing of money into fake Social Security Accounts has been going on for decades and every Congress has known about it an done nothing about it. They were obviously making good use of that money and now, Elon and his team of hunters may have uncovered another global money laundering operation. Perhaps, far bigger than US-A-I-D.

- Trump Files Emergency Appeal to Supreme Court to Overturn Reinstatement of Hampton Dellinger as Head of Office of Special Counsel
- A federal judge has prolonged a restraining order affecting USAID.

- A federal judge mandates the Trump Administration to reinstate deleted gender ideology webpages.
- A federal judge has intervened to prevent the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing sensitive Treasury records.
- In a bombshell revelation, America First Legal has uncovered damning evidence that Federal Judge Jack McConnell, the Rhode Island judge who halted President Trump’s temporary spending freeze, has been deeply entrenched in a taxpayer-funded nonprofit—receiving over $128 million in government funding during his tenure.
- "FEDERAL JUDGE McCONNELL MUST RECUSE HIMSELF IMMEDIATELY. America First Legal has uncovered a major potential conflict of interest for Judge John McConnell, Chief Judge of the federal district court of Rhode Island, who halted President Trump’s temporary spending freeze," AFL wrote on X.
- As America First Legal (AFL) published on X, the judge presiding over the case has a "major potential conflict of interest." Judge McConnell appears to be on the board of a non-governmental organization (NGO) that receives funding as a sub-awardee from multiple federal agency grants, including the Department of Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services.
- According to AFL, Judge McConnell used to be the Chairman of the Board from 2011 through 2021 and is still listed as Chair-Emeritus. Screenshots of Crossroads' 2023 Form 990 show that Judge McConnell is still listed as a member of the Board and has been listed as a Director every year since 2006, including when he took the bench in 2013.
- In 2023, the Form 990 shows that Crossroads Rhode Island received $18.6 million in government funding, which is more than half of the organization's $30 million in revenue. Since McConnell became a board member in 2006, the organization has raked in over $117 million in government funding as of 2023. AFL expands this number to $128 million if you include FY2024 and FY2025, thus far.
- Here, Judge McConnell ordered taxpayer dollars to continue flowing to the states, including Rhode Island, states rely on federal funds to provide and maintain vital programs.'
