The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to make startling discoveries, even as the leftist meltdown over its work persists.
The department’s latest discovery is a group of unlabeled U.S. Treasury Department budget line items worth $4.7 trillion total.
According to DOGE, each budget line item should contain a Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) as an identification code.
But for reasons that remain unclear, the $4.7 million worth of payments contained no TAS, making them untraceable.
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,” DOGE explained in a tweet Monday:
The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process).

The fact that the money is untraceable doesn’t seem like a coincidence, according to Republican Rep. Tim Burchett.
In a tweet posted Sunday, he suggested that the ongoing leftist meltdown over DOGE stems from the fear the left feels over their shady financial schemes finally being uncovered and exposed.
“Democrats are terrified of @elonmusk and @doge because all of the graft comes back to Washington, D.C. when you follow the paper trail,” he wrote. “They’ve been stealing, funding themselves along with our enemies, and now they’ve been caught.”

All this comes as DOGE is preparing to go after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) next. Yet despite the IRS being justifiably hated by most Americans, Democrats have rushed to its defense as well.
“Elon Musk and his interns are seeking financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country,” Democrat Rep. Betty McCollum whined in a tweet Monday. “This isn’t complicated: An unelected billionaire should not be allowed to go through your IRS records – or those of his business competitors.”
See how they’re deceptively framing DOGE’s attack on the loathed IRS as an attack on taxpayers? It’s a slick strategy, but will it work?
Even Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat who sometimes sides with Republicans, tried to play this manipulative game.
“I want to save billions of your money and make our government more efficient,” he tweeted Monday. “Rummaging through your personal shit is *not* that. A party of chaos loses—always.”
DOGE boss Elon Musk responded directly to Fetterman’s tweet shortly thereafter with a blistering tweet of his own.
“Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL. Hello???” he wrote, referencing his past as PayPal’s cofounder.
“Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as ‘ALIVE’ when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem. Obviously. Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second …,” he added.

In separate but related news, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss declined in a ruling made Monday to block DOGE from accessing the Education Department’s student loan data.
Moss argued in his ruling that the plaintiffs at the leftist University of California Student Association (USCA) had failed to show how DOGE’s work would cause them irreparable harm.
“Because the Court concludes that UCSA has failed to clear that essential hurdle, the Court’s analysis also ends there,” he wrote. “The Court leaves for another day consideration of whether USCA has standing to sue and has stated a claim upon which relief may be granted. Those questions are less clear cut and are better answered on a more complete record.”
