DOGE Claims $110,284,469,494 Saved

The Department of Government Efficiency claims massive savings from terminated contracts, canceled grants, and closed leases. But how much is real? Here's what the data actually shows.

Reality Check: Independent analysis by POLITICO found that actual savings were less than 5% of DOGE's claims. Many "terminated" contracts were simply rebid or restructured.
