Great job of diving into this Mess without help and organizing it into a workable format. Pleased with the progress and the Pres. Trump is getting the backing he needs to complete his desired results to MAGA without worrying about who is at his back this time. What a super great loyal team !

Please look into Philadelphia's Urban Affairs Coalition DEI grant-funded nonprofit with evidence of embezzlement, refusing to pay a Caucasian worker for approved timesheet labor. Their legal goons are threatening the unpaid worker with financial harm for exposing the misappropriated and missing funds from grant money. See the website the goons are demanding be taken down: https://the-hierarchy.net/

Enough .. is 'finally' enough. It seemed as if the theft and the fraud was gonna continue on forever, as no one was really interested in stopping it, or even slowing it down. Like a runaway train .. someone's gotta' jump up into the locomotive and apply the brakes. There'll be plenty of noise from it, the squealing of the brakes and the grinding sound of metal on metal which is precisely what we're hearing right now coming out of the mouths of the liberal Demonratz. Let em' squeal. It's won't help one bit. D.O.G.E. is comin' for yer' ass and they plan on takin' a whole shitload of prisoners !!! @GITMO CUBA -

This is my take.. WHO doesn't want to figure out why we are 36 TRILLION in debt that we definitely cannot continue to remain a free country on!

I just do not understand the push back.

That "public health" organization you highlight is swamp 101. They've got quite a bit of DC office staff to pay for with those millions in federal grants.

Another "Open The Books" red herring.

Defunct and deactivated federal agencies remain listed in the Federal Register because it serves as a historical record of all government actions, meaning it captures every agency that has ever published documents within it, even if they no longer exist, providing a complete picture of past government activity and regulations for historical accuracy, regardless of their current status.

True and sometimes those agencies can aid in understanding the thinking and help the work of probing further into other later creative agencies. Everything has a purpose!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is beyond my wildest dreams. Only 400 or so more parasitical agencies to get rid of. Is it possible American government could return to something approximating the legislative limits of Article 1, Section 8 of our Constitution????????? The United State could have a real representative government instead of the world's largest criminal enterprise. I hope so!!!!!

The federal, self-licking ice cream cone is a scam. The entire nation would be healthier, happier, and better served, if 75 PERCENT of the federal scam-force FOUND MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT.

Keep at it…MAGA/America First, DOGE, MAHA and super-transparency agents like OPEN THE BOOKS.

This is what I voted for in 2016! "What? They can kill us but we can't kill them." - Donald Trump at the first presidential group debate in 2015. Common sense prevails!

Good morning! Now let's investigate/explore how much taxpayer money is being spent on corporate welfare and private contractors working for the federal government (especially the military). And as always, how diversified is OTB staff by race, gender, class and especially political? I feel this is important to really cover all aspects of your research. Maybe OTB would be less bias towards DEI and restorative justice policies: this would make the USA truly the land of fairness and provide some justice for all. How about it OTB?

Is Trump working with open the books?

An eye-opener for sure. And just the list that could help Elon and his crew in their task. Get that part of the Register under control, and it's only a small step to really clearing out the deadwood.

Thanks very much for this information. Government has abused its power, as reflected by a 36+ trillion dollar national debt and growing. Elon Musk reduced his staff at X by 80%. Perhaps we need to follow that model when it comes to reducing the number of federal government employees and agencies.
