I'm not sure about the largest claim.

A sitting Senator, Rick Scott, oversaw a larger defrauding of Medicare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Scott

> The U.S. Department of Justice won 14 felony convictions against the company, which was fined $1.7 billion in what was at the time the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history.

I assumed this was going to be about US Senator Rick Scott, because that's who comes to mind when I hear "massive Medicare fraud". But there seems to be a new contender for the title now.

Waste, fraud and abuse discovered during the Biden administration that absolutely dwarfs anything DOGE ever dreamed of.

too bad FBI / DOJ et al are all run by right wing media clowns now.

I doubt it dwarfs what Doge dreamed of, just what they were able to--or felt safe to--expose.

Seriously, they could have put the greatest minds in the fucking world to work on this problem, and they basically grabbed a bunch of loyal script kiddies for a few months.

I cannot get over this take. What happened was clear as day.

Ah, yes, DOGE accomplished essentially nothing because the President of the United States and the richest man on the planet were too scared to reveal what they found.

That's some next-level cope.

DOGE couldn't reveal what they found! ELON couldn't handle it and had to leave! The TRUTH....went deeper than Cigarette Man ever dreamed... The one man who KNEW IT ALL had only one job, to save the world.

and his name?

Scared, or inspired? Both are prodigious practitioners of grift.

Lol

They sent digital child soldiers.

They were never serious, they just wanted unquestioned authority and optics.
