The DOGE team uncovered 9,700 people with birth dates more than 15 years in the future who claimed $69 million in unemployment benefits.

Another 24,500 claims came from people supposedly over 115 years old, totaling $59 million. For perspective, America’s oldest living person is 114. Even more shocking, 28,000 claims were filed for children between ages 1 and 5, resulting in $254 million in payments.

Musk expressed disbelief at the findings, writing on X:

Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future! This is so crazy that I had to read it several times before it sank in.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer confirmed the findings in a statement to Fox News.

This is another incredible discovery by the DOGE team, finding nearly $400 million in fraudulent unemployment payments.

We are committed to recovering Americans’ stolen tax dollars.

And:

We will catch these thieves and keep working to root out egregious fraud—accountability is here.

2. Time to Stop the Clock—Trump Takes on Tired Tradition

Most Americans grumble about “springing forward” and “falling back” and lawmakers have mostly talked in circles about addressing what is seen as a problem.

Polls consistently reveal a majority of Americans want to pick one time and stick with it, yet year after year, the tedious time shuffle continues.

But now, this twice-annual disruption might finally be approaching its final hour. In a remarkable display of bipartisanship that has become increasingly rare in Washington, senators from both parties are coming together to potentially end a practice that many Americans have long considered outdated and unnecessary.

The evidence against our current system has been mounting for years. Health experts testified that the time changes disrupt humans’ natural circadian rhythms, leading to increased heart attacks, workplace accidents, and even traffic fatalities in the days following the transitions. What was intended as an energy-saving measure a century ago now appears to be causing more harm than good.

What remains undecided is which time standard to adopt permanently—daylight savings time or standard time. President Trump is on board to lock the clock but sees the choice of which to choose as a “50/50 issue.” However, he is ready to cut through the nonsense and make a decision.

3. American Ballerina Ksenia Karelina Thanked President Trump After Her Release from Russian Prison

American leadership—or the glaring lack thereof—has life-or-death consequences for individuals caught in the gears. The question always hangs there: Who will actually step up for another? Too often, the answer felt like… no one.

So, when an American is finally pulled back from that kind of nightmare, the relief is palpable. Indeed, the joy washes over families and patriots who still believe in this country. The act of being saved is a signal, however hard-won, that resolve still matters. Additionally, the care put forth for another shows that America, under the right leadership, has not forgotten its people.

That wave of relief crashed over the family of Ksenia Karelina, a Russian-American ballerina making her life in Los Angeles. During a visit to see family back in Russia in early 2024, she was grabbed by authorities and tossed into the nightmare of Vladimir Putin’s penal system. But now, after more than a year locked away unjustly, Karelina is breathing free air back on American soil.

And the charge Moscow slapped upon her? Get this: Treason. For donating a measly $51.80 to Razom, a totally legitimate New York-based charity helping Ukraine defend itself. Treason, for fifty bucks? Seriously? That speaks volumes about the paranoia and sheer vindictiveness driving regimes terrified of anyone supporting liberty, anywhere.

Upon landing safely back home, Karelina shared her gratitude:

Mr. Trump, I’m so, so grateful for you to bring me home and for [the] American government. And I never felt more blessed to be American and I’m so, so happy to get home. Thank you.

President Trump’s response was characteristically direct: “Glad to have you back home.”

4. Undoing the Damage: Trump Tackles the Left’s Secret Social Security Shell Game

From the outside, under The Obiden Regime, things may have looked superficially okay—maybe needing only a fresh coat of paint to cover the cracks. But beneath the surface?

Thankfully, President Trump is ripping out the rot. His administration is dragging into the sunlight the murky, hidden mechanisms that encouraged and sustained the border disaster. And what they are finding confirms the worst suspicions—a deliberate, almost systematic effort to integrate illegal aliens into systems explicitly reserved for American citizens, at staggering cost and immense risk to our nation’s integrity.

Decisive action is being taken to dismantle one of the most outrageous parts of this hidden machinery. Trump’s deputies, spearheaded by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, are canceling the Social Security Numbers (SSNs) that were, incredibly, handed out to illegals. This move effectively cuts them off from the taxpayer-funded gravy train.

NOTE: This was not the product of some minor bureaucratic paper-shuffling. It resulted from a targeted, multi-stage offensive—over 6,300 SSNs belonging to illegals flagged with criminal records, terrorist links, or expired visas have already been wiped. Next up? Another 92,000 with criminal convictions, before the effort broadens to tackle others residing here outside the law.

How were they doing it? Technically, these improperly obtained SSNs were moved into the Social Security Administration’s “Ineligible Master File”—a database the liberal media loves to dramatically call the “death list,” normally used for, well, dead Americans.

The termites are being fumigated, and the foundation is being shored up. This long-overdue action serves as a powerful reminder: Under President Trump, America’s borders, laws, and precious resources are once again being fiercely protected. He promised to deliver for the forgotten men and women of this country, and cancelling these fraudulently obtained Social Security numbers is yet another promise kept.

The message echoes loud and clear: America First means putting Americans first, today, tomorrow, and always.

5. Space Force Commander Removed for Undermining VP Vance’s Message on Greenland Strategic Importance

A strategic imperative recently drew Vice President Vance to Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, and he carried a firm message, rightly challenging Denmark’s stewardship and investment in the region.

Vance pointedly noted Denmark’s failure to adequately secure Greenland against what he termed “very aggressive incursions from Russia, and from China,” accusing Copenhagen of underinvesting in both the people and the security of this vital landmass. This echoed President Trump’s consistent stance: America needs Greenland secure for our own safety and international stability.

Disturbingly, the commander responsible for Pituffik Space Base, Colonel Susannah Meyers, was relieved of her command shortly after the Vice President’s critical visit. And why? Not for a tactical misstep or logistical failure, but for something far more concerning: A fundamental break in discipline and alignment with national leadership.

Colonel Meyers took the extraordinary step of sending an email to base personnel directly contradicting the message delivered by the Vice President of the United States during his official visit.

The Colonel wrote:

I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base.

The Pentagon’s response was swift, decisive, and absolutely appropriate. Citing a “loss of confidence in her ability to lead,” the Space Force removed Col. Meyers from her position.

Uniformed military officers swear an oath to the Constitution and are expected to execute the lawful orders and policies of the civilian leadership. Period. Whether they personally agree with everything is irrelevant to their public duty. Actively working to contradict or “reassure” personnel against the stated concerns of the administration, delivered by the Vice President himself was out of line.
