Musk was equally blunt. He recalled his meeting with Loeffler while sporting a “Trump Was Right About Everything” hat. Musk declared: “The clinic case of fraud was with the Small Business Administration, where they were handing out loans—$330 million worth of loans to people under the age of 11. I think the youngest, Kelly, was a nine-month-old who got a $100,000 loan. That’s a very precocious baby.”
It’s clear that Biden’s radical policies—like the Green Lender Initiative and DEI programs—diverted the SBA from supporting small businesses into a tool for left-wing projects. This mismanagement has led to soaring defaults and massive waste of taxpayer money.
In the video posted to X, Turner said the “wasteful misappropriation” of resources “that have been going to assist illegal aliens in our country will no longer go to assist them, but instead to assist the American people.”
“We have a housing affordability crisis in our country, and so today we are ensuring that American taxpayer dollars are used to assist the American people,” he said.

“Unfortunately under the Biden administration, they prioritized illegal aliens over American families,” Noem said.
She said the partnership will “make sure that these housing programs are going only to people who deserve it; people who are in this country, that need assistance, that want a better life for their families.”
The release said data from the Center for Immigration Studies shows about 59 percent of illegal immigrants families use at least one public assistance program, costing taxpayers about $42 billion.
Jonah Goldberg on double standards (yes, Democrats deserved what they got on theses issues as well):
~ … If you ignored or made apologies for Hillary Clinton’s behavior but are now scandalized by Pete Hegseth’s or Mike Walz’s, you’re just on the other side of the same double standard.
But the price for defending the administration’s behavior here is to accept that you have no credibility either. The only objectively defensible position is to admit the administration screwed up, too. Indeed, American politicians and senior officials from both parties have behaved outrageously for decades, and neither side has clean hands. Elites, starting with Trump, Clinton, and Biden, have flouted rules that would, at minimum, ruin the careers and perhaps the lives of rank-and-file military and intelligence officials… ~
1- Why wasn’t Trump in the group chat? Seems strange that the commander in chief wasnt in the group. Imagine a group work chat that everyone but the boss……
2. Why was the Treasury Secy in the group? Why was Witkoff? I would think attack plans would be a need to know basis.
3. Gabbard and Witkoff were travelling; Indochina and Moscow respectively. This puts the conversation at an even greater risk.
4. Group chats in apps like Signal, Telegram, etc are encrypted at the end but almost every modern national police can access a conversation. Israel is especially good at this but has exported their technology.
5. These group chats are not recorded. Does the administration use these chats often? This would allow them to be deleted and not recorded as per regulations. Why are they avoiding official lines of communication that are recorded and then saved?
6. Waltz looped in Goldberg. It’s not good enough to blame an intern or assistant. He’s responsible. Hesgeth copied and pasted the attack plans. He’s responsible. The current attempts at cover up just make it worse — adults take responsibility.
7. Is this incident a one-off or is indicative of a cavalier lackadaisical approach? At what point do other NATO partners and Five Eyes countries become more cautious when sharing information with the US?
The administration messed up. There, everyone happy? No, no one should go to jail over it, but if someone slipped it in there on purpose they should be fired and lose security clearance.
I understand that this app is commonly used in such situations, but there seem to be varying opinions about it’s security. To me it seems dumb to spend hundreds of billions –trillions even, on our military and not have our own too notch security. You might say they’ve ‘privatized’ the governments function of secure communications to a private company. Oops.
hrw, could also just be a sign of inexperience. Many of the Trump cabinet appointees are quite new to all of this, but one also would think there would have been some basic guidance and oversight provided, especially in national security practices.
Someone may need to step down should this not go away and become more of a problem for the administration (and should Trump begin to see it as too much of a distraction).
Always better to confront and handle it up front, move on (if possible), rather than let it all fester, a lesson most presidents have learned the hard way.

“Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg.
Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy.
The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.”
