Media Miss by the left: DOGE claims agency remains functional despite reports of breakup
DOGE says it’s still going strong despite a report by Reuters this week saying the controversial agency was disbanded.
In a post on social media, DOGE called the report “fake news,” writing, “Just last week, doge terminated 78 wasteful contracts and saved taxpayers $335M.”
Meanwhile, Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor said DOGE is no longer a “centralized agency.”
Under President Donald Trump’s orders, DOGE is expected to keep operating for at least eight more months.

Media Miss by the right: New Zealand destroys Patel’s 3-D printed gun gifts
During a recent visit to New Zealand, FBI Director Kash Patel gifted five government officials 3-D printed guns. While the revolvers were modeled after toy Nerf guns, all the gifts had to be surrendered for destruction.
Under New Zealand’s strict laws, 3-D printed weapons are treated similarly to real guns. And according to The Associated Press, pistols specifically require a permit beyond a standard gun license.
As a result, all five gifts were surrendered to authorities for destruction.
