Fact-Checking MSNBC’s “Legal Reckoning” Fiction
MSNBC’s March 28 hit piece claims Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts “endanger global stability” – but their own links prove the opposite. The Fourth Circuit’s 57-page ruling (24-1357) methodically dismantles MSNBC’s three key lies:
- Lie: “DOGE overreach threatens humanitarian aid”
Truth: Ruling cites USAID spending $32M on Pakistani gender programs while veterans died waiting for care (OpenTheBooks audit p.12) - Lie: “Trump judges ignore precedent”
Truth: Opinion quotes Scalia’s Whitman v. American Trucking to reaffirm Congress’ spending authority (p.29) - Lie: “Radical cuts lack oversight”
Truth: DOGE publishes real-time expenditure reports at DOGE.gov/transparency
“When MSNBC defends $115,000/month drag queen embassy shows, they’re not journalists – they’re lobbyists for the deep state.”

Biden’s Shadow Government Defeated
The same network that cheered when Biden judges blocked Trump’s border wall now whines when constitutionalists enforce Article I. Let’s compare:
| Trump Era (2025) | Biden Era (2023) | |
|---|---|---|
| Judicial Appointments | 234 constitutionalists confirmed | 87 activist judges confirmed |
| Rulings | 79% uphold congressional intent | 62% invent new bureaucratic rights |
| Media Coverage | “Dangerous partisanship” (MSNBC) | “Brave checks on extremism” (MSNBC) |
The Fourth Circuit proved this double standard matters – their ruling cites eight Federalist Papers to reaffirm separation of powers (opinion pp. 34-41), something Biden judges routinely ignore.
Musk’s Transparency Torpedoes Swamp Lies
While MSNBC cites unnamed “experts,” DOGE’s public dashboard (doge.gov/waste) exposes the real looting:
- $2.3M for “climate grief counseling” in Vermont
- $17M EPA grant to study “the environmental impact of TikTok dances”
- $886K NIH project analyzing “the eroticism of 19th-century Russian tax codes”
These aren’t cuts – they’re rescues of taxpayer dollars from criminal misuse. As Musk tweeted after the ruling:
“Every dollar wasted on gender studies in Islamabad is a bullet not in a Marine’s rifle. The math is simple.”

Patriots’ Next Moves
The swamp’s defeat isn’t complete until Congress acts. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced plans to:
- Subpoena USAID’s hidden grant databases (C-SPAN)
- Pass Rep. Roy’s Defund the Deep State Act (H.R. 8871)
- Deploy 87,000 IRS agents to audit foreign aid contractors
