Yesterday, from Mark Alford (r):

Congressman Mark Alford
[June 4, 2025]
We’ve received the rescissions package from POTUS this week, $9.4 billion in taxpayer savings identified by DOGE.
It’s time to rein in the waste, fraud, and abuse found in our government.
House Republicans are ready to codify these cuts. Let’s get it done 👏

For others, the math is not difficult. Some of the responses:

Every 10 years or so Republicans try to shut down Sesame Streer and sell Yellowstone to ExxonMobil and fire all the Tornado warning people and tell us you’re cutting “Waste”.
Maybe the real Waste was inside y’all all along.

The felon is trying to rehire workers and realizing you really do need 24 /7 staffing in weather forecasting offices and air traffic control..

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Conviction. Check.

Must be looking in the mirror again!!

DOGE staff cost more than $8.4 billion. What happened to the trillions$$ in savings?

Well, someone did get a lot of data out of this.

no facts or reported savings, ALL TALK & MUSK’S BS.

litigation and buyouts over the unjustly fired people is going to take those paltry savings down to almost nothing. Indiscriminately firing and cutting essential programs does NOT save money. It just destroys the best parts of our government.

When will the DOJ be indicting those accused of fraud?

that was my point. Fraud is a crime. And if dimwits, like our Representative, want to throw around words like fraud, I’d like them to back up their claims.

Is Elon on your ignore list now ?

The truth is DOGE cost us more money than it saved. Sorry Mark.

Mark, be careful! Musk and DOGE are becoming persona non grata to Trump over the Big Beautiful Bill! That’s Latin for “the scam is about to break!” Seems like you voted for it!

Narrator: “He did.”

I don’t believe you. Show us proof. Be transparent.

Mark, I’m wondering why your staffers let you keep posting? It’s clearly 70-80% negatve feedback. I know you think its people from out of your district, but that’s a moot point. You are an elected official. You not only represent your district but you also represent the country as a whole.

Mark Alford
[….] I’m ok with dissent

Yeah, sure, Mark.

So who is being charged with all this alleged fraud?
Looking forward to your next town hall 🤣

Just stay away from cutting Medicaid! I can’t believe you think people elected you to make life harder on the poorest people in our country and easier on the billionaires! Jerk!

Too late.

Lies. Where are the receipts?

Funny if there was fraud, there should be indictments.

Do you realize that some of the 10.9 million left uninsured (CBO) live in your district? I’m guessing there are & they WON’T be voting for you in the midterms.

Yeah Mark has joined the lairs club and has no remorse doing so

All I would like to know it this. What is that you are smoking and where can I get some?

We all know how bogus DOGE reports have been
[….]

You have no idea how to do your job.

He does. It’s just that his employers are different than you think.

Maybe they need to raise revenue instead. That could be done by repealing the tax breaks given to the wealthy since Reagan was in office. See? Problem solved!!!!!

When will there be charges filed against folks for all the “fraud and abuse”??

Identify waste and fraud? Absolutely.
Blindly accept the findings of President Elon without verifying everything? Stupid.
This “savings” you claim can’t simply be terminating employees, ending programs and cutting off Congressionally authorized spending.
[….]

Mr. Alford, when will you have a real, in-person, town hall, instead of another meet and greet, or a rigged, virtual town halls where you get to pick who attends and what questions you’ll answer? Where you have to listen to your constituents instead of just talking at them to tell them your party’s line?

The only abuse is DOGE wasting taxpayer money and the abuse the middle and lower classes are taking to give tax breaks to the rich

I call bullsh#t mark

Absolute fucking lies! Why do you think we’re so stupid we don’t know what the OBBB is about to do?

Congressman Mark Alford a/k/a Cockwomble – as usual, you lie. I think it’s so funny that Musk is turning on you all. What will come out next? Liar. You didn’t even read the bill before you voted on it. You and MTG can suck it.

If there was so much fraud found why don’t I hear about who, where and when do prosecutors start. Until l hear those answers stfu.

Musk is selling your bitch asses out now scammer

YOU’RE SO FULL A SHIT !!!!!!!!!

Hey fake weather boy the only real fraud, waste, and abuse in government are the feckless Muskrumpian shills like yourself. Time for you to go!

Funny it started at 2 trillion then went to 1 trillion now 9 B what a bunch of jamokes

Liar! Waiting for your pants to catch fire.
But seriously, if there Was waste and fraud, where is the DOJ? CHARGES BEING FILED? NO. Because there wasn’t. Liar LIAR!!

Why do you post misinformation and lie?

Where’s the fraud prosecutions?

Congressman Mark Alford you’re quite a terrible liar and an incredible piece of propagandizing shit!
