Karoline Leavitt says White House must cut spending due to shutdown White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the Trump administration has to look at ways to "save money in a responsible way that respects the American taxpayer's money" during shutdown.

Presidential Golf Trips would be a Great Place to Cut Spending. Trump's golf trips cost taxpayers ~ $152 million during his first term & $71 million already during his second term.

Starlink at ‘no cost’ to taxpayers? Dig into the numbers—claims of billions in savings are inflated, masking real contract costs and corporate profit grabs. #Transparency #GovSpending

Canceling contracts isn’t free; it disrupts lives. VA cuts, for instance, could jeopardize critical benefits for veterans under the PACT Act. #VeteransRights #GovSpending

Reports reveal major miscalculations: a USAID contract listed 3x, a Social Security contract misreported, and an ICE contract inflated from $8M to $8B. #FactCheck #GovSpending

@mcuban.bsky.social Is it just me, or could the gov have just downloaded Rocket Money instead of DOGE-tier cash on audits? No fraud found, but hey, they did cancel some rogue MSFT subs. Huge win! What a joke. 💰😂 #Efficiency #GovSpending

The US gov gets cash mostly from our paychecks (50%), payroll taxes (30%), biz taxes (7%), and import taxes (5%). Yet, spending's blowing up on military, health, and social stuff. 🚀💸 #GovSpending #Taxes youtu.be/zCaMuB4D4Ag
